Without changing the external dimensions of the roof or the clam, I think I've gone about as far as possible be fettling alone. If I were designing the roof and the clam from scratch, I'd definitely make the "mohawk" cross section wider and/or taller.

Then, to my mind, if the roof is only allowing x amount of air to pass into the clam and there's no way to open up the roof any wider, it might flow more air WITHOUT the roof or with a roof sans a scoop. Then (correct me if I'm wrong) you could fettle the clam opening even larger because you wouldn't have to worry about a mating surface (to seal against a roof).
