Venting 1st Gen Camaro Hood

[572Camaro]

We have a fuel injected 572ci engine under the hood that likes fresh air. After viewing many really nice venting options, we decided to try something a little different. Take a look.
Hood grilles are custom billet and twice height of factory pieces.
Engine is "stuffed" into engine bay as you can see by the pic.
First, and with great hesitation, we cut eight square holes into hood.
Then, we went to the waterjet and cut 316 alloy stainless steel pieces, including the box tubes you see, out of 1.5" thick 316 alloy stainless.
Next, we sanded and sanded and sanded over 100 hours on all stainless pieces.
After welding in the tubes, we then resanded for what seems like forever.
Finally, we shaped the crown on the underside vents, cut fresh studs, loctite, and did the install.
Believe it or not, the engine compartment temp, as measured by my fuel injection air inlet sensor, has dropped noticeably. Just got home from GoodGuys Lone Star Nationals and snagged the "Innovation Award" sponsored by Snap-On tools. Judge thought the vents were killer. I don't mean to brag, just really excited about the award.
Thanks for looking! any feedback?
