I plan to add a vented hood help with air flow through the engine bay. I am just trying to get a feel since I have seen it and they said they like and it works great. my car mostly drives on the track. It is not a DD and will never be one. I appreciate all your guys input and opinions on this topic. thanks

Bear with me because this is going to sound like a big sales pitch and I apologize in advance for that, however, I hope that by the time I'm done you will see exactly what I'm saying and recognize that this is only intended to offer information and be helpful instead of just sell our wares.
1) Additional cooling: As everyone knows additional cooling is going to be extremely important on these cars and we have a few ideas on how to solve this.
STILLEN Front fascia- As it has already been mentioned the STILLEN front fascia increases the front grill opening substantially and also offers additional openings for accessory coolers such as oil coolers. On our car, we're running the STILLEN race cooler and the STILLEN street cooler! I have flogged the crap out of that car and it is very hard to overheat the engine oil with this setup! Basically, we retain the standard mounting location of the race cooler and the secondary oil cooler mounts on the drivers side vent opening. You will want to cut holes in your fender liners to allow the heat to escape after going through the cooler but that is very easy to do. On the driver's side vent opening we plan on fabricating a secondary heat exchanger as well. So the coolant for the intercooler will travel through the main heat exchanger mounted out front, then through the secondary cooler mounted in the fascia opening, then back up to the manifold. Again, you will need/want to cut some holes in the fenders to allow the hot air to vent out but that's really simple.
2) Secondary cooling solutions: When I get a chance (it will take awhile) I am hoping to develop a system that will cool the coolant down without any input from the driver. It should be pretty simple and if done correctly will work very well. My only concern is that it might not be cheap. My estimated price is around a grand but I'm not 100% sure about that yet...Could be more, could be less...Won't know until it's completed.
We definitely plan on offering upgrades for the supercharger system. Some will be minor and some will be major but we do plan on continuing to push the capabilities of this system!
