The proven best Terminator cooling mod EVER!

I did some research on TruCarbon, the people who make the CF OEM one. Apparently their quality is amazing, and the 05-10 guys and GT500 guys LOVE them and their hoods. Do a google search on here and modular mustangs and see all the good feedback. I wonder the same thing about the weight though, I would love the OEM CF hood and paint it silver.
Because it would overheat worse than ever.:nonono:
The only way a radiator that is tucked away under all that body work, can get enough air through it to remove enough heat from the engine coolant...
Is to have as large an air pressure differential as possible. Since we can't increase the frontal in coming air pressure, we have to lower the behind the rad air pressure.
If the hood is removed, you will have air swirling around down in back of the radiator and less will blow through because there would be less difference in pressure.
The multiple ramped vent louvers each add to the vacuum pulled out of the engine bay, which makes it easier for air to blow through the rad.
I may have to challenge a local body guy that he can't do what the original guy did, and mate the hood panel to the stock hood frame 
I'd buy one in a second if it'll clear the 3.4 like my cervinis heat extractor...
I would guess no.:nonono:
if i dont have to re-mortgage the farm to pay for the shipping expense. i would take one immediately, all that tiger stuff seems to be the best stuff offered for performance enhancements
Ouch ... Yes freight to Hawaii is going to be painful.
Your take on Tiger Racing parts being purely functional is dead on, it's not for bling.
Though I think they also did a great job making it look good at the same time it is working.
God love Tiger Racing.
However a little more cowl to that hood would help.
Not a whole lot, just a little more to clear some not so stock equipment and maybe even a taller version for the M112 V6 guys.

These look interesting especially the GT3. They're up here in Oregon too about 6 hours from my house. I would want to know the weight, if it was also a light hood that may require me to call 'em up and take a road trip.
I like the tiger better though so if that were available, I may take that one.
Good discussion.

I'm liking this, where do we get these?
Those are custom fabbed.
Though there was some talk with True Forged about a possible run of them, I don't believe they got enough hits in the interest thread to move forward with it.
Yeah....it's ugly

a little to extreme looking for me, but i can def. see it running alot cooler with this hood
I'm with you, too extreme for my tastes.
I'm looking for something functional but more stock looking. How do the cowl hoods affect temps?
Unless they are vented correctly (that would be, NOT at the base of the windshield) they are going to reduce air flow through the rad.
I explained it a little in this thread.

So are they making this thing yet..? as at least a hinged model? I don't care about the stock latch setup so much. I'm gonna use Quick Latches anyway. I'll beta test and provide input on fit and finish, functionality(underhood temps), etc...
I would 100% be interested. Hood with functional vents is the best cooling mod ever
