Charles,Magnum Powers said:If the SC has been lowered the air pressure in the engine compartment will be increased because the area available for air to leave the engine compartment has been reduced. In this case you might want to consider installing an air dam that is “taller” and stiffer to create a greater air pressure difference across the radiator. I recall someone doing this but I don’t remember which automobile he got the taller air dam from. As I recall it fit perfect, perhaps someone knows which make car the dam came from. If not a trip through a wrecking yard should yield something that would work nicely.

How many of you with the FMIC have a cowl induction hood?
My thought is that with the cowl being in a high pressure area and ducting air into the engine compartment, that a lot less air will travel through the Rad and IC.

Jeff, you are right. I know for a fact that a cowl hood will raise the pressure in the engine compartment and will add to the heating problem. I know this because a SC owner told me his story. He had a cowl hood and had overheating issues. He blocked off the opening and his engine temperature decreased significantly. He still runs the hood but the vent is blocked. Remember cowl hoods were first invented to introduce high-pressure air to the carburetor not to try to decrease engine temperature.J57ltr said:Just a thought I had.
