Keeping it within proper temps is vital to engine life... But is keeping the entire hole open vital to keeping proper temperature?
The case studies on this website show - absolutely not. With instrumentation, you can find the critical zone for a given environment. You're a bit of a special case because of the IC....
Question: Is the hood scoop directly ducted to the IC and radiator? Or, is it ducted and diffused (hood opening being smaller than the duct exit)? Keep in mind that turbulent air is MUCH MUCH more effective at conducting heat than that same air ramming it's way through there
