Here's you answer, sorry for the delay been doing stuff
When I started doing the hood scoop mod, there were a few questions about water and drainage of my design.
Well I finished getting some painting done and was in need of a good wash, prep and wax. While doing the wash, I realized that the soap would show where the hood design actually drained. So I sudzed it up to show how the runoff hits just to the rear of the radiator.
I had made a mock 1/2 hood to see the scoop positioning and it came out just where I wanted it to. The under hood shot also shows the grill operation with the foam highlighting it.
When the car is parked, the heat really streams out like it has a fan moving it. I was running on the highway today and the water heat gauge was 1/2 tick below the middle, the ambient temperature was 75 degrees ( our high to date this year).
As time permits, I will instrument the airflow over the hood and just behind the scoop. This is to detail the temperature of the air streaming over the hood to see (prove) how much heat is extracted by the negative hood scoops. I can tell you that sitting still lots comes out, a plus for sitting in line at the track. Cooler is better.
Its a great day, enjoy Woody
