Would a hood scoop help my problem?

If I were doing it again I still would not go crazy looking for fire retardant or fire proof foam. Its not like you're building a car out of it, it's just not that much flammable material to worry about as far as I'm concerned. When it comes to fire prevention in my cars, I put lots of time into looking for and correcting things that can start a fire in the first place. To me the biggest fire starters on hot rods and race cars are fuel system components, trans cooler lines and the cooler its self and anything than can cause an engine oil leak. I spend extra time and money on those items and always try and route all the plumbing as far out of harms way as possible. Fuel lines go on outside of frame rails, trans lines are kept away from headers and exhaust, etc, and I use rubber hose only to connect two hard lines together plus I use at least double clamps. The other item I always have is a fire extinguisher. One other thing I almost forgot, NEVER use plastic line for an oil pressure gauge. I witnessed a fire caused by that on a friends car when the plastic line was too close to the header and melted resulting in oil spewing all over the header and POOF>>>FIRE!!! Use copper line for that.
