Custom hood vents

ResIpsa

If you want a cheap way to test under hood temps go to Walmart and buy a cheap battery powered oven/meat temperature gauge. Get one that is meant to be placed outside of the oven with a long hi temp cord attached to the meat thermometer. Or even better, a wireless unit.

Depending on the length of the cord, you may need to zip tie the gauge to your windshield wipers so you can see it through the wind shield.

I used this method to see what type of under hood temps I was getting in the master cylinder compartment (after multiple slave/clutch master cylinder failures at the track).

What I found out is that temps spike rapidly any time the car is not moving. And that it is vital to open your hood AND plastic brake and clutch master cylinder compartment cover immediately after getting off track.
