Intercooling
Alright currently I have a false CAI (resides in engine bay) and thats about it for cooling transfer, anyway I wanted to know what all is available for my 2001 Autotragic Tiburon, due to the fact that everytime I'm done with even a daily drive and I open my hood it's hot enough to feel upon the smallest crack. I've seen some awesome things for OTHER cars (of course) but so far have not found anything for ours. Anyway I'm going to be getting the Z-3 Fenders and the CF Evo Turbo hood, unfortunately on both the vents are opposite direction of ventalation to have it just sucking through with forward movement, and I doubt that it would be too much of a difference anyway so I'm hoping that I could find some interior modifications that might help.

The evo style hoods are not designed to force air into the car as in a ram-air set-up. They actually are designed to remove heat out of your engine bay. Your car will run much cooler with that hood. That means your air intake temp will drop as well.

The idea behind the reverse-vents is that air is sucked up from the ground level, directly over the exhaust manifold, then out, ensuring continuous flow over your exhaust header which is of course the largest source of your engine bay heat. Ram style vents usually don't give the same flow efficiency in the downward direction over the exhaust, their design was originally to stick air into the carb sitting on top of your big block.
