The capacitors may not appreciate the heat in the engine bay for their longevity. For the caps in the engine bay, a fellow member had suggested adding 2 hoses to the battery box. One leading to the front of the car and the other leading to the intake. That way the battery compartment is cooled when the engine is running with a constant flow of ambient air. This will obviously not help heat soak when the engine is stopped so insulation may be in order.
