vented hood help with heatsoak?
when my car sits after driving it, espically slow for a while, it get hot - like 100+ C. when I start up my car it revs up & down between 2000 & 3000 rpm. after starting the car the temp starts to drop right away, reaching a manageable 90 C after just a few min.
so, the question is:
would a vented hood help eliminate heat soak after the car is shut down?

I like the Border hood myself.
There are tons of others as well.

Well not really, I don't have any numbers showing before or after. On a hot day after I park the car, if I were to lift the hood, it is surprisingly cooler than before the vented hood.

I'm not sure about heat soak because I have FMIC, but I did notice that my water temps dropped 2 degrees celsius from 81 to 79....that's so low that the thermostat wasn't even opening up!...
...I read somewhere on the forum that the scoot FD was dyno'd with water temps at 80 and 90 degrees respectively. With the 90 degree temps, they actually saw HP increase over the 80 degree temps....
...so Now I run at 92 celsius

my normal operating temps very rarely fluxuate from 88 to 92 C, so I think I am fine there. I just want to avoid the increased heat I get when I stop & park for a bit.
On a sorta related note: I am now going to do the fan switch mod - will that run down my battery a lot if I run my fans for say 10 to 15 min after the motor is shut off? I am using a smaller sized Miata battery if that makes any impact....

My engine seemed to cool alot faster after I put the MAZDASPEED hood on. My IC pipes never get hot now, Not even the turbo side.
It's to late for me though. My coolant seals went out anyway. Bodyshop .start and stop start and stop crap killed my engine after 2 months of it.
