Default Air Cleaner(again!)

Okay, I know you're all sick of me with these stupid questions, but this is for you carbed guys. I need some help deciding what I should do. I want to keep this car a sleeper, meaning to keep as stock looking as possible, but I also think I need more air for the 750. I personally think I have 3 options:1) Keep the 2" drop-base cleaner I have. 2) Put a scoop on the hood, and set up a carb cap with ducting and my cold air intake for the l98 to make a ram-air effect. 3) Scoop and just put a bigger cleaner(3-4"). Personal opinions? What would you do, or have you done?

On the flip side, do you think I'm getting enough air to the carb right now? At most I'm going to be feeding 430-450chp, so I don't need serious amounts of air, but I don't want to choke the intake either. Thanks.
