This.
The engine will cool faster with the covers off the car. Both cover have insulation to cut down on noise, but their still covers trapping heat.
Put more covers over the engine. Do you think that will help the engine get fresh air and cool faster?
At the track, why does everyone open their hood to cool their engine/intake faster? Why not leave the hood closed (its just one more cover over the engine).
I know from track experience that the engine/intake cools faster with the hood open and the intake covers off.
The more covers over the engine, the slower the cooling.
