Hey,
Man you guys get way too serious about bulls**t that doesn't matter. There are openings on the sides of the engine bay that vent to the outside world through the vents in the side fender. Anyone ever try putting a fan in those holes to draw air out? I was surprised when I took off my fender the other day that those vents are actually semi-functional! Does anyone want a hood like this? To vent the intercooler to the outside world.

Venting air out of the engine bay is a very serious issue, not bullsh** as you suggest. I call BS on you taking appart your fender, either that of it is your eyes that aren't functional.

^No updates except the pics posted on the last page. Gotham Racing still has the car - search for my name and find the saga of the nutria rat The mechanics did say they could see hot air venting out of the hood when they drove the car and when it was at idle so that can't be bad.

that sounds like too much work.lol I was kinda lazy, my hood only costs 250 bucks w/ great fitment. FRP, big *** vents right after the SMIC. I can actually touch damn near everything under my hood after driving it.
this is an ugly shot of the car but the hood works great.

This thread is getting way off topic lol. But love your rims, and after I drove with a bubble shifter, I want one!
Can't wait to see a more in-depth review of your vents David Hayes. Hopefully water temps and IAT temps will be noticeably lower, and I'm sure it will be considering our hoods have so little ways for air to exit. A big thing for my car is heat soak, and I'm sure it'll be considerably better with vents and leaving the fans on.

I've heard everything to the contrary about the FEED hood being functional. It's the nicest looking aftermarket hood for the car, but I've heard nothing of it reducing engine bay temps. I've also heard it weighs more than stock.
Believe me, I REALLY want a FEED hood, so if someone could please please please prove me wrong, I'd be forever grateful
Proof would involve before and after install temps...
