[QUOTE="merkyworks, post: 16247057, member: 179203"] Living in Houston you need all the help you can get to reduce under hood temps. I've remove rear hood cowl seal, got a True Forged hood heat extractor for more ventilation surface area and also installed a 170F t-stat and programmed fans accordingly. All this helps and I can be sitting in traffic with AC on and max coolant temp gets to is 185F but I will still see heat distorted air coming from the hood vent area. Side note, all of my comments are with running long tubes. I do wish however I would have spent the money to get long tubes ceramic coated, I'm sure this would significantly help reduce the added under hood heat that comes with running long tubes...live and learn lol. [ATTACH]1586827[/ATTACH] Edit: Now this setup would really help with reducing under hood temps. Vorshlag made the factory hood vent hole larger and then custom made a louvered vent. They also moved the radiator and HE bottles to allow for custom ducting to direct the hot radiator air up and out the hood vents. Pretty cool setup I think :) More pics of all the work [URL='https://vorshlag.smugmug.com/Vorshlag-Test-Pilots/James-Meeker/i-FP6gcG6']HERE[/URL]. [ATTACH=full]1586834[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
