The positive pressure on the ducted system will make the air more dense. Dense air cools better. Possibly negate the reduced air flow effect on cooling. Exhalent video, thanks.
could i cut the back of the hood from one side to the other? a definitive opening instead of lifting the rear. Or would it be better to just cut the central part?
I have a 2019 ram 1500 classic, old style, it has the shutters front rad, by installing these leavers would it interfere with the shutters in front of rad?
The shutters in front of the rad are there to regulate airflow which helps with drag and fuel mileage, adding louvers to the hood wont effect the shutters and will help still help with heat.
Great video, just found it. I have 1984 chevy caprice Ls swapped with Lm7 5.3 bored. 020 with LSA supercharger . Was thinking of adding vents to hood get rid of heat, any suggestions?? Thank For Your Help
@@eltonv8tao Yes raising the back of the hood for cooling is not recommended. While raising the back of the hood does help vent heat slightly only when the car is not moving. Once the car starts to move the high pressure air from the cowl area goes into the engine bay raising the pressure in the engine bay and on the back of the radiator which hurts radiator cooling. Since the main cooling of any car is the radiator and most cooling is needed when the car is moving raising the back of the hood hurts cooling. Plus raising the back of the hood creates front end lift which is bad at high speed.
@@racelouvers7958 cowl induction would not be good for refrigeration from what i understand. Would it be good for aerodynamics? or would it only serve to accommodate big turbos, big engines?
Awesome work! Congratulations!
This is now my favourite channel on youtube. All this testing data available online and for free?! Thank you so much!
This is great info thank you. I've been looking to do a heat extractor for right behind my radiator on my 2015 Fiesta right in the middle of the hood.
Thank you very much for the information.
Awesome Video.

Great video would have been cool with smoke..

Your best bet is to email us a few pics and estimated dimensions to info@racelouvers.com

Ok.
Thank You
@race louvers . Hi .
20mm Raise hood work for cooling ???
Thx
No, raising the back of the hood hurts cooling and downforce
@@racelouvers7958 he is sure ? Are all dragracers in Brazil wrong to do this?

@@eltonv8tao having the back of the hood or cowl area open to the engine bay creates drag and front lift, not good.
where is the pdf? I didn't find it on the website. 8:23
its right in our data section "hood shootout' racelouvers.com/content/Race-Louvers-Mustang-Hood-Shootout-Wind-Tunnel-Data.pdf
