I am finding out that the car cools better if I use 5th gear for the longer portions of the track. Once I get this hood done, my temps should be much more manageable. Street driving is no issue for me. I run the Mishimoto oil cooler and sandwich plate. Temps above 90 generally mean near over heat on a track day. Hoping the new Hood helps with better heat dissipation.
I'm sure the AMS hood is going to help but the Trackspec vents are positioned in the center and remove alot of heat. Plus its like 50% less than a CF hood and i'm a cheap *** lol.
