Yup yup, most people think it works as an exit for engine air but it works the other way!
But anything that would improve airflow in the engine bay is why I posted that one up.

I'm not having too much of an issue with IAT, Coolant temps or oil temps, it's mostly the fact that my engine bay is really really HOT! I have a tubular front mount Turbo with the equivilant of 30feet of hot parts running through my engine and it's previously melted some wiring looms, fender liners, clips and anything plastic really. I pulled the inner fender out of the passenger side and it's considerably helped reduce some of the melting but I imagine with some kind of heat extracting function would be even better.
And the added benefit of it would be to promote airflow across the heat-exchangers.

I think the hex vents would work great and look decent. And with your color scheme painted the same black as your stripe would look decent. And is it too hot constantly or is it only under certain conditions like in town stop and go amd track or just all the time no matter what

It's always hot all the time no matter what, not because my coolant system is inadaquate because the truck is within temp, it's just the heat from the Turbo kit radiates everywhere and effects everything. And since the hood acts as a big lid it just keeps the heat in and cooks everything that's in the engine bay. I often pop the hood when I get home or to a friends house just to allow the engine bay to cool off faster, and it would be nice to just have that done naturally.

Never liked those to be honest, however there is a hood that not only has an intake like that but vents on either side that act as heat extractors.

I plan on buying a HD hood and handing it over to Ramaro but I need to come up with something prior to hacking into it. The more I think about the reverse cowl the more I like it but like others said, it can be made to look a bit too ricer-ish if I don't be careful.

Thought about doing that actually!! I'm driving 350 miles with my truck tomorrow and thought I would just leave the hood at home!! But decided against it.

There was a member on here that was going to do vents in his stock hood, not sure how it ever turned out. I think it was V502 or something? Can't find the thread I am thinking about..
