Dont listen to dicks, any whoo there are few things u can do to get the heat out of the engine bay without wasting too much $, well there are rubber "bushings" that go along the window almost on the top of the engine bay it is there to keep ur hood from vibration when ur going over bumps, if u remove them 3 of them 2 small 1 long they let more air out of the engine.

If u still want more cooling i would suggest removing the under engine cover that will be a huge difference, but has a draw back dont drive at extremely high speeds cuz its letting air under ur car and well its unsafe.

And if you just want to pay 4 something that will work best well i suggest buying a vented hood, bigger radiator, or another cooler.

The base of the windshield is a high pressure area. If you pull the weatherstripping out there's a chance that it will force air in at speed and you end up slowing the air coming through the oil cooler and radiator. Pulling the undertray is a bad idea too, both because it's the lower bumper support as well as the effect on aero. It will slow the airflow through the radiator and oil cooler.

theDreamer has a thread about vented hoods and temps. That's the first place to go to lower underhood temps.
