Functional vented hood

Functional vents, with minimal added weight was what I was looking for for years, nobody made it......so I did

Vents were sourced from Ebay, off some *****box from the 80's, and I have lexan covers I ziptie down for when it rains.

when sitting idling you can see the waves of heat billowing out of the vents, and on the track at the glen my engine temps were around 182-186 the entire time. (I run a 170stat)

True dat. Right now, my shaker is off. Heat boils out of the opening.

If only the vents were available......I nabbed a second set on Ebay, and might look into taking a mold of them for reproduction purposes......
