The new "Showstopper" hood has significant clearance over a stock hood. The heat distortion temp (HDT) of our resin is fairly high and more than adequate for any temps in the US but we could build a hood for you with an even higher HDT
Here is a link to the "Showstopper" hood, http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...=1#post5753659 |

No seriously, so when you're driving with the AC on, do you have any issues? I know what Russel's saying makes sense, I just dont know if it will have any real life issue with the intense summers we have. |

Good for you for owning everything. If you are buying the 4.0 Whipple just to say you have it, then go ahead. If you want to do it the right way, there are much better options.

The A/C will still cool it. Where you notice the extra heat is in vent mode with the A/C off such as on a cool day. With the hood sealed, you will be able to get cool ambient outside temp vent air. Take the rear seal off, and the vent air is quite warm when the vehicle is not moving. It will feel like the heat is on, instead of just cool outside air. The easiest way to see the difference is on a stock Camaro, taking the rear hood seal on and off to compare. When you can A-B-A test the change, the added heat to the HVAC system is quite obvious in vent mode when sitting in traffic. In A/C mode you will still be cooling OK, but some like to use vent mode when it is cool out. |

First when you have a large, high hp supercharged engine heat will always be an issue. If I am sitting in stop and go for long periods of time, my temps will run up but they are still manageable (usually 225F max). Of course my engine holds about 11 quarts of oil and I have two oil coolers. Unfortunately people make comments about things when they don't know the whole situation. That's why half the time I won't even post anything on here because someone will always make an uniformed comment. A true old school (70's style) cowl hood would release heat low and into the vents, however the MPD1 hood is not the same. It seals at the back and the holes are high in the cowl, plus this cowl is significatly higher the any normal cowl so the air that escapes is way too high to be sucked into any vents. Unless of course you live somewhere that hot air sinks and cold air rises. If that's the case then this hood will not work for you.

Well if you want to go oldschool you could always go bigger and cut a hole in the hood. Good luck with your build.

so you're saying Whipple's are a bad way of making power? or would all Positive Displacement blowers be a really bad way of making power since Whipple's are the most efficient of the bunch? Now when we talk about IAT's no one cares what your intake air temps are while cruising around, show us how they look like when you step on it. Vortech's are awesome dont get me wrong, my vortech z06 was insanely quick. Centrifugals also work really good on higher compression motors, and especially stock motors because they boost by RPM, so you only see full boost at redline. PD blowers put alot of stress on the engine but make an insane amount of low-end torque, and would probably be in full boost at around 3500rpms. 800rwtq does feel nice at 3000rpms. Also, this is a no expense spared build, were using the biggest heatexchanger, high flowing intercooler pump, large intercooler fluid reservoir tank etc... |
