A heat shield won't help. It'll still be sucking hot air from under the hood.

Torque increase. LOL.

Read my mind. As soon as the hood is popped, that's an instant fail right there.

That will actually not fail the California smog inspection. There is no thermostatic air cleaner on this year. So no fail. On 96 and newer the inspectors don't even put a sniffer in the tailpipe, they plug into the PCM and make sure there are no trouble codes and see if the monitors have been set.
