I upgraded to a Setrab series 6 34-row this year after constantly being up at 260+ with my old 25 row (that's now my 7AT cooler!), and only hit 260 with timing cuts at the end of a long track day with 30-60 minute sessions. Most of the sessions were at 220 to 240.

I ran the stock 2009 bumper with a Fly1 Amuse rep hood. The replica hood has slits cut out in the undershell, a little inboard of the exterior vents. I expect it only does a mediocre job of venting, and am not the happiest with it as a product.

Thanks to the 7AT, I'm always in high RPMs, and downshift very aggressively for corner entry. So this is probably worse for heat than many 6MT drivers.

The car will probably be totally fine in the typical 20 minute sessions though.
I'm planning to add in the trackspec center vent later this year for additional heat dissipation.
