will the TII hood be as cool as a N/A hood
my friend and i are arguing whether or not there would be a difference in temp with a TII hood or a N/A hood with a front mount, i say yes any extra air coming in should help cool the engine.

TBH, air doesnt do much to engines at all. Cooling the water which cools the engines yes. But, cooling the air around it, meh, no significant difference. So a STOCK n/a with a T2 and then a N/A hood, wouldnt make a difference.
My opinion, cant say I know for sure. But the hot air in you're bay won't effect the performance unless its being sucked in through the intake.

its actually possible that having a T2 hood scoop push air into the engine can sort of ruin the flow of air and make under hood temps hotter. this is why ppl with V- mount system use those hoods with indented holes that cause a suction across the top, pulling air out of the engine bay, infront and over the windshield.
this becomes even more apparent with the use of full front ducting, in large race groups like nascar.

If the TII scoop is working as a scoop, you'll have higher air pressure in the engine compartment, which will cause the amount of air flowing through the mouth of the car decrease, making cooling WORSE.

black91n/a pretty much summed what i was getting at.
having a aftermarket hood with a reversed vent would create negative pressure at speed, prompting suction/better air flow through the engine.
putting a scoop on will push air into the top, slowly trying to reverse the air coming in from the front. it just turns into one big cluster **** of air. stay with the stock hood or get a reverse vent hood.

Well I think the 3 hp gain might've been from the air filter sitting right where the scoop was. This could cause slightly cooler air getting into the motor, resulting in more hp, but as far as the ENGINE being cooler. I wouldn't think so.

if your after cooler air temps you could try to build a hood like i did.
mine dips down towards the radiator and pulls the hot air up and out. Ofcourse with this you would have to run a electric fan.

This IS a good idea! I know there is a company out there making these hoods but can easily be made yourself.

the op did say with a front mount intercooler not just to see if the engine ran cooler
so i would say yes it would run cooler with a solid hood or a vented one, not one with a scoop tho

A slight change in subject:
say i want to go turbo, which is would be better(not caring about ease of build)
1. use the TII hood, and the top mount intercooler.
2. keep the stock hood, use a front mount intercooler.
i kind of want to do the second because it makes it look more agressive, and its something different.
