I have an aluminum lay down rad and the high flow fans but my car is still overheating at stop lights if the ambient temp is 85F or above.
Does venting the hood actually do any good?
The vents help to reduce water temperature at idle or very low speed, but not by very much. I reduced my water temperature by about five degrees when I installed a vented hood on my car. There were also accurate VDO gauges in the car when I did the testing. If you are having a cooling problem at low speed, but the water temperature drops at speeds above 40 mph, then it is an air flow problem. If you are having high speed cooling problems it is a water flow issue.
