Even with the snorkel and hood vents, I’ll still run at 220-230 at highway speed on a hot day.
But on top of poison spider in august cruising the trails, It barely got above 212.
Hood louvers ?

I was talking intake air temperature.

I would have to image it would make some difference, I’ll check that next time I’m out

Trout ran a heat gun on his after he cut his vents out of his old 10A hood. It does shed heat but in reality, does it really matter? JK's run hot on purpose. My Durango with the same motor runs 25-30 degrees cooler. The louvers do look nice and help shed some under hood heat, but in reality I don't think they enhance performance.

I’ve looked there are none that will work with the V-8 swap

I incorrectly assumed you still had the V6. What engine temps does the LT run at?

The AEV should.

215 to to 230 on a hot day according to Motech that’s normal

I’ll look at the AEV but there’s not a lot of room on the passenger side with the expansion tank

I know it works with the 5.7 and 6.2 Hemi’s. Not sure if you have an LS

It’s the LT not much difference than the LS as far as intake locations. I’ve been working on an a box of some sort to shield the filter from engine bay heat and maybe bring in some cooler air from the grill or behind the headlight somehow.

Can cobble something to work I’m sure. That’s what the plumbing section at home depot is for.

What in the actual fuck is this?

That extra mirror is very practical.

I think I’d rather live with the heat . I’d would have to give that a try if I was putting in a new toilet

That looks great. I have been thinking of doing that one. I plan to order it with the halfdoors once they release them.

I’m leaning that way not sure there’s enough benefit . Not the coolant temp I’m worried about as much as the intake air temps it would be nice to drop them a bit .
I like those better than the full hood I think they look better.

Running the Jeep this morning my intake air temp was:
20-25 degrees above ambient at idle
15 degrees above ambient at 40 mph
10 degrees above ambient at 70-80 mph
this is thru a AEV snorkel with a pre-filter on it and running a K&N air filter.
