[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16245772, member: 9628"] I have been stopped at a traffic light multiple times in the middle of the summer with no airflow through my engine compartment except the radiator fan, and watched the shimmering distorted flow of underhood heat out of my Super Snake hood vents, if the car were moving, I'm sure the heat would be extracted even more, but you can't see it as well when the car is moving. There is a reason why Shelby installed the vents in the upper most portion of the Super Snake hood, and at the rearward portion of the hood, heat rises and the rear placement evacuates more heat than front vents where the heat stays trapped toward the rear with no where to go. I still have my original Torch Red/Black stripe hood that Shelby removed, I believe those vents (and most all of the center/forward hood vents) are great for allowing the hot radiator wash to exit the engine compartment, but there is still much heat rising off of the engine itself, behind those forward hood vents with nowhere to go, especially when the car is stopped.
