ok, so, based on the info and your setup I cannot imagine a more efficient hot side piping. Your cold side looks odd to me but then again I never liked the FD TB elbow but it still doesn't have too many bends. The FC one seems better to me but no matter what there is still a 90* bed to the UIM. You're still decreasing the the amount of density loss which just means a few more HP...

Then take into account that IC and Radiator seem to be well insulated from the engine bay heat. Plus your turbo blanket, plus the water injection, along with the vented hood. You're decreasing the amount of heat that the IC pipes would be exposed to and keeping the air cooler and denser at the manifold. Little by little you make more HP.

Ducting just rocks. I think it allows for the air to be forced through in an easier manner than without it. If you duct it right you can force cold air in then isolate the hot air from the IC, radiator and oil cooler right to the vents on the hood without exposing the IC pipes to it.

I've been contemplating heat-wrapping the IC pipes to keep the air cooler in the pipes.

Which makes perfect sense. They are sacrificing safety either way. lol
