Message	I know the Z is plagued by high under hood temps (as well as coolant temps when driven on the track). I plan to track my car, and was thinking many hard continous laps around a track would put out serious heat. Just wondering if venting was a viable option or was I overthinking it and it would be fine stock. Evo's come stock with a hood vent, and they don't have as near tight a engine bay. (Previous Z's - 92 TT stage I - 94 TT stage III) Current Z - 90 TT stage IV - being rebuilt
