I'm taking note of this idea.

Do you have the fan sucking hot air out of the engine compartment or blowing cool air in? Can't tell if it's a puller or pusher fan in the pics.

Also, I'd like to see some pics of how you reworked the hood internal bracing around the other vents you added.

The fan sucks the hot air out through the stock hood ornaments that I machined. I will try and take some pics for you to see.

Just had the car on the Dyno. After making some A/F adjustments, the car picked up about 70HP, making 1085HP.
