Do you have any data on the pressure zones with the 370z?
Asking more as a point of, no one does and knowing the actual areas and working around them will help everyone on cooling. As of right now we have no data and what aftermarket hood will or won't work efficiently.

With Pat's engineering/fabrication background and me with the wallet, car, and extra hands for helping everything is possible on this car at this point. Pretty much all of the things people want to see but no shop bothers to attempt will be done to my car....diffusers, solid underbodies, vented hoods, custom forced fresh air/heat ducts.

But no as of right now that isn't something we have.

I personally don't. You can always do the yarn test.

I am picking up a Seibon TS hood in a couple weeks, though I have to get it repainted, I will see if I can acquire some stuff to test between the two hoods.
I plan to do some basic cipher logs on the car, engine oil temp, air temp, water temp, speed, rpm, etc to get a baseline for my car now.
