Go intercooled, then ceramic then if u must a hood, if you're really trying to solve heat issues.

I'm just doing what I would prefer based on my experience.
At this point it will cause a restriction but it would lower temps.
Since with E85 I don't need it this is more about lowering temps under the hood then charge temps as those are fine thanks to the fuel choice.

Until I decided that this unit will be the keeper and not a larger model I don't want to modify it directly.

OK but a hood will not help that much with temps if the blower is your heat source. If you're going with the bigger blower you're still looking at the same intercooler kit. Either way you should know your blowers temps so you know if it's the rain you need to lower temps under your hood, but whatever man its your car

[Cross]

Getting ambient temps pushed through the engine bay will help lower temps but if you feel otherwise congratulations.

Regardless the point is the same since I don't need the charge air cooled for running or operation adding the restriction of the intercooler and everything else in the kit would make the car lose power which would make the bay cooler but it wouldn't be the solution I want, hints why I already said it's not the solution I'm looking for at this time.

If you feel the need to check the temperature of your unit by all means go for it but I'm talking about lowering temps in the bay not checking them, cooling the intake charge or modifying the unit at this time. My reasons for doing so are all valid so pushing your opinion when all I did was ask the other poster to let me know how his experience with the hood he chose went really has no bearing here.

Wasn't pushing any opinion was advising you to spend 20 on an infrared gun to figure out where the heat was coming from but w/e man, not worth my time

You assumed I didn't already have that information. Perhaps you could stop assuming and pushing?

I have vented cf hood and Temps are not much lower like I would have thought. Although it does cool off quicker

Thanks I figured moving would be the biggest benefit. I want to address that to but my main part to address would be staging lane heat and while I have an idea using a mist setup I don't think that's going to completely work as intended.

Run your a/c in the staging lanes. I watched a 15F difference on the torque app while sitting in the staging lanes (190F/on to 205F/off). Turn it off right after you spin to clean the tires.

They get after us for getting water on the track but I am going to give that a shot thanks!

Any restriction you can relieve is a good one. On sane, daily driven boost levels, you will always be looking at a handful of power gains from your mods and not leaps and bounds.

I had the privilege recently of comparing 8psi of turbo boost, 8psi on our unit, and a tweaked n/a car all back to back to back. They felt identical. No joke. I do love my blowers, but it was hard to pick a favorite in that comparo. Over 3k, they all felt the same by the seat of the pants. Our kit was quicker at low rpm, like you would expect. From a roll in the midrange just mashing the gas in gear, all 3 were even. I very much like how this chassis puts everyone on an even playing field.

I'm current;y researching whether forced induction is the way to go for me so I find this post very interesting.

Are you saying you did not think there was much difference between the N/A and FI cars?

Could you elaborate a little more?
Do you have any more info on the stock car you drove?

[SprintexUSA]

Uncorked n/a on e85 was as quick as 8-9psi in the other two. 12psi is a different story.

[stockysnail]

The 210 supercharger with a 70mm pulley is running 11.5psi on 92 octane gas, so that's much more than the N/A car with e86. Add 25 or so hp for adding e85 then you have a little more. 9psi is what comes from the 75mm pulley that comes with the sprintex kit here in 'murica.

[brianhj]

Sprintex intercooled, whatever pulley comes with intercooled kit can't remember, delicious flex fuel tune, delicious flex fuel kit, 56% ethanol, everything else stock.

At 5 secs in video I push gas pedal to floor. I'm in 6th gear. I have the pedal held down... What might be causing that dip in rpm and acceleration at 6 seconds in the video? It doesn't seem to happen in lower gears.
