The "speed of the air" is good observation.
Having gone through this crude heat shield, I am convinced that the only effective way is partitioning the engine compartment into two chambers, the hot side and the cool side. The latter with a healthy supply of the outside air. The heat shield between these two chambers needs to be comprehensive and insulated.
But, how much would it gain? I have no idea. It may very well require other modifications like what the team of DickT's son did. 5000 RPM to 6000 is a 20% increase! very impressive without modifying the engine itself.
Cheers
