Brainstorming ideas for coolant crossover on Air-Gap intakes

AJ I'm currently running 2.94 gears with 28" tall tires. I know based off the numbers I have to be careful with a bigger cam but I'm gonna go with a custom grind for sure. I intend to drop in 3.55s first and once these tires wear out go with some shorter 27" Nittos on 17" rims. I know you said my theoretical cranking compression is only 155 but I have a feeling it's much higher than that; even with only 8* initial advance the engine kicks back hard on the starter when hot, so much so that I had to wire a killswitch into the ignition circuit so I can crank the engine first with no spark then fire it off once it's already spinned up in the right direction. One of these days I just need to get off my lazy *** and do a full compression test lol.

To others talking about the factory style air intake with the warm-air valve, I actually do have one of those and was running it for a couple years but 2 problems now, it is noticeably more restrictive than my open-element K&N piece. Also it will no longer fit under the hood with the 1/2" spacer under the carb which I'm going to keep (made a big difference in tip-in response). I still have it and will use it if the need arises again but according to David Vizard's experience and research I've been reading in his books, the most effective setup regarding heat control of the intake is to keep the air and fuel cold going in but regulate the intake manifold heat to around 160-200*F. This makes sure the fuel stays atomized as it flows through the intake and absorbs the heat from the intake runners; keeping air and fuel cold before entering the intake maximizes the density of the charge going in as we all know.
