Also, I have pretty good vision but no mechanical skills so diy is not on the table for me so this will benefit those like me as well lol!
I've been seeing massive reductions in temp by opening up the grille, not just vents in the hood. Ambient AIT's and oil temps so low I though my gauge was broken. Just some food for thought.

Lol, I so what you did and I considering do the same thing. Oddly enough AIT temp are very acceptable with the ventilation I have only running a few degrees above ambient but my water and oil temps are way to high. I will hit you up in your thread.
