Heat soak - vented hood options that are not "louvered"

Sure, you could have a good shop make some kind of scoop. I think the one in the pic is too far back. My guess is that the best solution from a function standpoint would be a vent with an extractor/louvers in front of the motor to give the air coming out the back of the radiator a place to go.

You can do like Synolimit did here & heat will pour out of the hood. Custom hood vents

Bingo. New vette, all the evos, all up front before the motor to pull the radiator heat. It works for the same reason a bigger radiator will drop oil temps.
