advice with Hood Louver

[dudamota]

Thanks guys

01-)It looks badass , more aggressive, like a race car now.

02-)If I am not wrong they claim that using those hood vents you get a little downforce at high speeds.

03-)It blows off so much hot air from the engine bay and as my twin turbo setup is top mount is a MUST.

04-)You need to see THE NOISE from Turbo and blow off valve now.It is incredibly loud and amayzing to hear.
I will try to create a video to show.

The downside is RAIN.
I will NOT drive when is raining. I will not risk to break my motor or what ever.
There is so many changed components in my setup so I can't tell what can have water or not.
So I will avoid at all costs.
Problem is , this is my daily drive car. I am glad now that is not raining for months here in Brasil.

I searched for a few options in what to do to prevent water , but for now I will use paint tape as in this video =

You will have more down force on the front now that all the "negative" air pressure up under the hood/front end can escape, whereas before it would build up under the hood/front end and want to lift up, or "float" the front end. So now it will be more attached to the road/track, and depending on which front splitter you go wit, it will give you some more down force. Ya did a good job!!

Thank you sir! Much appreciated. I have been around for a long time, done a lot, seen a lot, experienced a lot, above all, LEARNED a lot!! And if I can help anyone out in any way, I will. So glad you're dream is becoming a reality for you! My dream Camaro took me 14 years to complete up to now, but I'm not done with her as of yet. There will always be something you will want to do down the road. Above all, enjoy what you have, and be safe doing it!! Glad to help.
