Lowering engine compartment temps

bigrob126

I have been thinking of ways to keep the engine compartment cooler, which in turn will help keep the engine cooler. Big temps are once again on the way here in Vegas. Was wondering if anybody had some suggestions. I have no issues, but am always trying to improve if I can. I have removed the lower cover, I know this helps keep the compartment free of dirt and may provide a little more under aero dynamics, but I also know how much heat it traps in and that bugs me. I have also removed the rear rubber seal by the windshield to let heat escape. I was thinking of lifting the rear portion of the hood by placing washers in between the hood and the hindge plate, although the sides of the hood will then be higher than the fenders. I dont want to cut any holes in my hood!
