Hood Tilt
Im just looking for answers here. Does the hood tilt mod actually do anything helpful, or does it do harm? Or it doesnt do either of those two? Again, im only looking for answers if it does anything, not how it looks, or w/e.

no proof that I know of, but, the colder and more air going in there the better. Im not sure how it could screw up temps, then I wouldnt be able to drive in -10 every day here. I have seen the hood tilt at the track more then a few times.

RE: Hood Tilt
I dont see how tilting your hood would cool off the engine. Engine bays are designed to make the air escape throught the bottum of the car. And by tilting the hood, it creates irregular airflow.
90% of the people that tilt their hoods do it for looks, even though it looks ghey.

I've talked to a number of guys running high boost apps that had issues with the heat getting into the cabin, and making it unbearable hot. Lifting the hood helped A LOT in those cases. I'm sure there are plenty of Ricers out there doing it cause it's the MaD tYte JDM shizzle yO, but a lot do it for a purpose.

I love random statistics... prove that 90% and I'll be your bitch for a day.
