So how about vented hood and fenders? Perhaps some sort of plates or panels that channel the air out of the engine bay?

Zat_Zuma, how hard would it have been to space those 1/2" holes equally apart? looks a little tacky if you ask me...

The angle of the picture and crappy flash misrepresents the overall results, plus I do have something else in the works for a better and drier vented fender liner system.

So did this actually help? I am considering doing the same.. My recent track day saw oil temps of as much as 295! 260-280 thoughout most of the day.
