This is the only time I've posted this as a non-advertisement. This is to show the difference of using a shield like was mentioned above. Of course the inadvertent advertising doesn't bother me.
Update*
The shield showed a 20F temp drop at the IAT sensor using the OBDII scanner.
**
Here is the info that I have. Allthough the numbers aren't astronomical, they do prove that a shield will dramatically reduce heat soak. I have measured a 50 degree F difference from the outside of the heat shield to the other side of the shield at the filter (KKM). It definitely aids in blocking the air the fans will blow into the intake as well. Here are some numbers besides the temps.

hmmm....hood open = 164.3 hp / 144.5 lb. ft. hood closed = 160.4 hp / 141.6 lb. ft.
Both of these cars were built in the same month. They are both silver SVTs.
