I totally can relate. I had intake temps that high before I built an airbox around my filter so the air was not drawn from the exhaust manifold area. They are still high though (can not remember the temps). So, I want to get more heat out.
My only concern with your venting is the lack of protection to the motor from water and mud etc.. Have you scene any adverse effects so far?
