'Morning everyone. Figured I'd share my latest project, had a little time last week on my day off so I installed some medium size "Run Cool" hood louvers. They came out pretty nice and they work great, you can se the heat coming out of them at a stop light. So far I'm showing a 20 / 25 degree reduction in engine compartment temps now, using a digital temp gun. I placed them so that they didn't go over and of the hood bracing underneath.

They are Run Cool brand louvers, they are a little pricey, but worth it I think. They are made well and in the US. Had a discount coupon from the JP magazine for them. http://hoodlouvers.com/

You know me. If you need help with fuel or anything, you just gotta ask.
