I debate about the hood vents all the time. Never know how much they help. I dig the look though dude, keep it up.
thanks homie! You've been to the race track and seen all the cars sitting with hoods up, not because they need work (most of the time), im sure you know, that's to let all the heat out so it's not heat-soaked on the next pass. Heat soaking doesn't just drop engine performance (usually in the form of lost timing advance), it will drop the longevity of the engine, seals and hoses, and our engines get terribly heat soaked going slow on these trails, you know this first hand.
I want to data-log engine parameters with and without the vents, i think JB has a spare hood but i could swap with anyone, i would love to run the same section of trail from a warm start, log coolant, oil and trans temp, timing advance and AFR's, i'd need a little more equipment for some of that, then compare. Even at minimal gains it's worth it in my book, mostly cause it looks bitchin'! haha.
