While you're working out the details of space, and since it's going to require a hood of some sort, active vents (w/small electric fans) might be a good option to include, and greatly beneficial for those who may use it as a daily driver. Heatsoak from stop-and-go with FI is a problem!

Just my two cents...
If you daily this on the stage 1 and 1.5 kits you will have zero heatsoak issues. We have over built the cooling in this system to support sustained 1000whp pulls over and over. This is going to be an extremely reliable kit. Remember your getting an oversized Heat exchanger and its twin pass. Meaning that the coolant stays in the heat exchanger longer for more cooling efficiency. In addition to that the Intercooler itself is over sized for the 1 and 1.5 kits. as well as the supercharger will not be maxing out its capabilities meaning the whole unit will stay super cool.

I didn't mean cooling issues with respect to the unit itself, or the intercooler -- just the general buildup of heat within the engine compartment that gets into everything when running a FI system...raising overall temps.

An active venting arrangement could pull cool air up and out through the hood, which would help when sitting idling. Small high-speed fans could be mounted in the hood, with electrical wiring running up the back near the hinges. Perhaps this might offer a good compromise slightly narrowing the differences between water and A2A.

Just a thought.

That is the reason we are using a vented hood as a base. The hood bump will be vented in the back to allow airflow out the back in the low pressure areas. You will also have vents either side of the hump to concentrate on relieving heat above the header area. There will be plenty of heat extraction with this hood. We have bullitt designing this hood for us and he has a firm grasp of what is needed. He has a good vision of the design and the capabilities to put together a sick product. Adding any more electrical or mechanical complexity just drives up cost and reduces reliability over a well designed hood.
