WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY"Classic Rodders punched louvers in their hoods to help radiate heat. The Old Dads knew what they were doing, and the principle is no less valid today." "When you...cut off the airflow in the engine compartment...You may have a great radiator shroud, but if you can't get the hot air out, the thing will cook when you are sitting still." "All air flowing into the engine compartment also has to have a path to flow out, or air will stagnate under the hood limiting the flow through the radiator." "The more air that is stuffed into the combustion chamber the better the combustion – more gasoline is burned more efficiently and power output increases ... Warm air is less dense than cold air, and that denser air contains more oxygen. More oxygen means better combustibility ... Cooler ... means denser air in the combustion chamber." "Hood louvers vent engine heat and reduce pressure in the engine bay, which, in turn, helps increase radiator efficiency. The louvers...[allow] heat to escape freely. Corvettes have always been hot under the hood and should have used louvers long ago."
"Racers know that a cooler running engine is a better performing engine. Reducing the temperature at which an engine runs will make more power through better thermal and volumetric efficiency."
– Pace Performance "Reduce the operating temperature, increasing power, ensuring consistent performance, and extending engine component longevity." "Trail riding is slow riding. Although the fan -- electrical or mechanical -- will push or pull air through the radiator, you aren't stuffing cool air through those fins the same as when you're plowing down the highway. Combine that with the occasional higher engine rpm (versus overdrive cruising) associated with crawling, and you can see that your cooling system must work overtime during prolonged trail riding exercises." |
