hood vents and heat

[steedafever]

all looks aside, where in the engine bay does the most heat come from (front or back of motor) and where is the most performance effected venting solution to engine heat escape? front vents like on your oem hoods or rear venting like on most cowl hoods? weird q? but seems relevant to proper cooling when racing.

The front vents do a good job of removing heat but improvements can be made. There's a member (RaceBronco2) on here who built a tricked out hood with more air events since he open tracks the car. He has a good thread discussing the reduction in temps. You may want to speak with him.

Not sure if this is the car but this is what came to mind when I read this thread.

Thats the car. Do a search under his username and you'll find a lot of great threads he's been a part of. Even more so, search through the Open Track forum since you'll get all your questions answered by guys that actually see what works.

That car looks sick.


Sitting in traffic down here in FL, you can just see the heat rolling out of the vents. I did the vent mod of course.

[steedafever]

got to get rid of this steeda hood or mod it

I actually run Fore hood vents during the summer months, mostly for increased heat removal during drag racing. Probably not a ton of help, but taking the philosophy that every little bit counts

I like that, and can understand how it would be an improvement over the stock hood as far as extracting heat. I'm really surprised that no-one has yet done a hood like that for retail. Nice!

I heard that.You should feel the heat coming out of the vents when I park the car.
These are the vents I installed.

Those vents look good on your car.

Do these fit good? I would hate to install them and chip the paint if they were a little too big.

Just a simple bolt-in? No drilling, etc?
