I was hopeful that your shield would work :-( . I know my car gets
way too hot under the hood, can't even touch the strut bar after a
run on a hot day. I always figured it was my black hood contributing
to the heat, but after your results maybe not. Given that your car
is white it would be less affected by the sun. Maybe if you check
the temps on a black (or darker color) they will be even hotter?
I suppose the only way to get around it is to construct those ducts
in
the hood ( or the Devek route--cowl induction ).
Anyway, thanks for the info and keep up the good work.
Hi Tom,
I bet a black car would be even worse. That's why I did the test after
sundown so the sun wouldn't be a factor.
Get out the sawzall and whack out a big hole in the back of the hood for a
scoop.
