      Which is why I'm going to run vents like these... in the other post he says how much heat escapes out of them too....

      We run hood vents from an '89 GP that I opened up with a Dremel tool for more airflow. Otherwise its the stock hood.

      The big aero inprovements in front we made were covering the top grill openings with block off plates and the deep core support airdam made from Conveyor belt rubber. We also had to reinforce the factory air dam because it would fold under the car at speed.

      I was going to make headlight covers and a large front airdam at the front bumper, but it never needed them.


      In back, we had to put small steel "L" brackets to hold the bubble window down, because the back edge would lift up 1" off the seal at speed. This might be a problem on an SS Aerocoupe if you try to run it above 150 or so.
