Hoods aluminium, it can't rust.

Street "racing" I can't get over 218 degrees. I'd say thats pretty good data with only the OEM oil cooler.

What were your temps hitting when you were "racing" before the hood mod?

What I'm talking about was a trip down to southern ohio, kinda like the dragon in Virginia. I hadn't gone down there before or did that much fast driving before the mod. But I remember when bedding in my brakes I was over 220 with the hood stock. And from everyone else who canyon runs I've read they can get up to 260.
