[QUOTE="BLK03SVT10TH, post: 1331222, member: 13915"] Well I got bored again today and decided to go ahead and do the Hood Blanket Mod. While I was working on it I got to thinking that it's fine to open up the Hood Blanket Holes and Open the Hood Vent Flaps, but that just lets the hot air escape a little better under it's own power, hot air rises and all that, and you get very little air flow under the hood when your moving slower or stopped in traffic. So I wondered what whould happen if I could vent the hot air at greater rate and this is the first prototype I came up with. The 4 Fans combined flow about 160 CFM. I'm looking at installing some fully waterproof fans if this works out, but they are a little pricey (40.00 Each X 4) They can be ran after being submerged in up to 3 feet of water. [img]http://members.cox.net/kevinhudson/HoodVent.jpg[/img] I just finished it today so I don't have any experience with running it yet, but the Fans come on with the Ignition and you can barely hear them standing outside the car with the engine off, and there is a nice volume of air being vented from under the hood, so we'll see. Let me know what you think, any ideas for improvement would be great, or if you think it's a complete waste of time and money, use your brain and come up with something better. :D [/QUOTE]
