Heat soak - vented hood options that are not "louvered"

Alstann

Oh of course. I'm just saying in my post that I think the ideal way to improve heat transfer in our cars, and most cars in general is to vent the hood. There's almost no downside - it's weight reduction (hopefully), while allowing massive amounts of heat to vent itself, like Synolimit has experienced. A vented hood will always improve cooling efficiency at the speeds our cars experience.

A larger radiator and fan will help, but like I said - it's more of a "reactionary" solution to the problem, versus a "primary" approach of simply allowing the heat to not form as heat soak and get trapped in the first place. Another factor is also if people are okay with replacing the OEM hood - in that case, a larger rad / fans are required. But for race cars, you won't find one without hood/engine bay venting. ^^
Getting larger fans or more efficient fans will allow more airflow, which in most cases for cars, is beneficial. The OEM Radiator/Fan combination for some people simply cannot keep the car cool at full tilt, and that is where I'm assuming people are having issues, esp. with turbos.
