Best FUNCTIONAL Vented hood for FC3S?

Personally the RE-Amemiya/300GT hood looks great, and should be decent for removing air in more key area's, namely over the turbo and then again on the intake side of things. I can only imagine what an Efan would do with a hood like that, like de-icing a windshield once the engine's warm.

Im kinda partial to it so theres my opinion, and I think El nene 7 on the other forum has that hood as well.

Placement of the vents does not necessarily remove heat. While heat can escape over the turbos at idle it won't necessarily while moving.

Someone would need to do a test using string to see how air flows over each hood. You would also need to monitor temperatures at different areas under the hood.

As far as I know nobody has done any real tests on any of this. It would be awesome if someone had a hefty stack of spare hoods and some free time
