I've heard people talk of various effects of alot of air entering the engine compartment by way other then THROUGH the radiator...
if you're not going to actulay RAM the AIR into the intake, you gain no performance... and i cant imagine that the air would really COOL the engine all that much, since most people dont have cooling problems while diriving anyway, it's usualy an idle thing. So with that I'll add this, what you end up doing is pressurizing the engine compartment... now it's not sealed off or anything but you're got extra air comming in from another source and it messes up the flow of air through the front.. granted this all may look like the balls... and I'm a big fan of ram air hoods, but it'll do only that... look cool... I cant believe that that air would provide any noticable cooling properties... I could be wrong.. as I'm sure I will find out in short time by other posters if that is infact the case.
