do what they do in japan.
they've been doing it for years.. most dont like aftermarket hoods with vents.. because they're poorly made..
what they do is with either their stock hood, or a cf hood. they put washers in the rear hinges, so it leaves a 1 inch gab at the back of the hood. so when you drive. the air thats being pushed from the front bumper, goes through the engine, then exit the rear of the hood.

 

Excellent, thanks... What is the hottest weather you have driven it in?

 

So now that i got the exterior figured out...what would be the cheapest but most powerful thing to get for my engine? And what would be better for a 300, a turbo system or a supercharger? Thanks

LP, you'll get a better response by posting a thread in the engine section up there ^^

However i will say this has been asked before and you will generally get the same response everytime so you might search before you post.

 

Barra Mundy? How do you get BN Sports from Barra Mundy? Or am I just tired?

 

I drove my car from Springfield to Chicago once with a leaky head gasket in 98-100 degree weather and it didn't overheat. The only time it was an issue was if traffic was at a standstill and there was no outside air flowing through the radiator, so I would have to swerve back and forth to make sure I could keep moving

Seriously though (that was a true story), with my car I have driven in up to 100 degree heat with no issues at all. I have driven it in stop and go traffic, I have driven it on the highway, I have hot lapped it at the drag strip on hot days, and still never had an issue with temp.

Here's a link to an article about the car: http://www.planetsoarer.com/thrustma...rustmaster.htm

You'll forget all about what you don't like on the outside when you see what's under the hood. With a powerplant like that, IMO he can put whatever he wants on the outside.

 

He can do whatever he wants to it regardless if he has 2 hp or 2000.

I make a lot of power, but wouldn't feel right ghettoing my car like that, but that is just me! To each his own.

Heh heh yeah Ethan, how much power you making these days?

What just a tiny 930 at the wheels or so? Heh heh!

Good to hear that the airflow is there.. I don't really see any reason why a 400 with half your 300's power should have any problems then, unless they really shafted us on the radiator, but I don't see it...

 

Hey, don't sell me short I made 982 at the wheels!

I honestly don't see a reason to upgrade the radiator or fan unless you just REALLY want a polished aluminum radiator or something.

So how are you gonna get that last 18?????
