Looks like they extend down under the hood quite a bit. Will they work with the Edelbrock supercharger?

I have been testing the Trackspec Motorsports hood vents since last year and I 100% concur with CSG's statements regarding cooling and the aero balance change. These are simply the most effective vents available. |
Track Spec Vents Track Tested
2/21/2016 (no vents) vs 3/19/2016 (vents installed)
Track: Thunderhill West Ambient Temps: 70-75 F for both days Setup: JRSC 8psi pulley on e85 (330 whp), ACE 350 Header, ACE FP, Tein SRC coilovers, 255/40/17 Nitto NT-01 tires Lap Times: 1:25:50 (2/21/2016) vs 1:25:30 (3/19/2016) Here is a single session (blue is with Track Spec Hood Vents, red is without): Top graph is Coolant Temp, bottom is Oil Temp https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...86101641_o.jpg Here is a zoomed in shot to the fastest lap on each day (blue is with Vents): Top graph is Coolant Temp, bottom graph is Intake Temp https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...94025358_o.jpg As far as aerodynamics is concerned, I noticed less understeer this time around. This makes me happy. Here is some fun footage from 3/19 chasing my friend's BRZ who has pretty much the exact same setup minus the supercharger but + aero. These laps were not for fastest time, just for some fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pc1...ature=youtu.be |

@CSG Mike
Few questions as I really am interested in a set of these. 1.) How does cutting through the hoods supports effect the overall strength of the hood? 2.) Any rain guards developed? Stuck parking outside all the time :( I have been looking at the velox louver kit but I kind them too small for my taste however they don't cut through the reenforcement ribs on the hood and they also come with rain guards. I notice my oil temps getting way up there during my sprinted drives, thinking the oil cooler route but I don't track enough (just some autocross) so I've wondered if venting my hood would be a better route. The CSG ones look badass as well ;) Edit: Also N/A but going flex fuel soon. |

2. In the plans, but not super high on the priority list; we had a bunch of owners drive through pouring rain to get to 86CUP last weekend, and also park outside in the rain overnight, with zero issues. If your oil temps are high, you need an oil cooler; hood louvers will not help much with oil temps without an oil cooler. You don't have to be at the track to be driving hard enough to get oil temps up. |

Be careful to make it so the front is in *front* of your header. You don't want water dripping onto a hot header after you park from a drive. |
