What did u do to your raptor today?

[Huck]

Opened up my hood vents a bit with a good old angle grinder.

I believe wiz had some major air flow / cooling issues when he modified the vents

 

[Labraptor]

I thought Wiz's airflow issues were due to the extra cooler he mounted by the radiator. Hood vents worked from what I recall.

Could be why he is not getting flow still to be determined I think.

Lol opening up a vent designed to expel heat causing cooling issues, nope. In fact you can see that it increases flow when you use your wiper fluid at highway speed.

You show no fear when it comes to cutting tools and your raptor.

Eh, its only metal and fiberglass. Plus this is on the underside of the hood, easily hid away.

Wiz quote from june of 13 "Does it work???
Yes.. You can see heat radiating from the hood vents in heavy traffic and now when at free way speeds the windshield washer squirters are very disrupted because of the disrupted airflow over the hood.. I suspect this is why the holes were of a smaller size from the factory.."

Then reposts the mod in Jan of 14 for Joe not expressing any issues and still endorsing it

Has heating issue in July 14 more than a year after opening up the vents. Chances the two are related slim to none.

Not that I'd refrain from doing something I wanted to try or thought was a good idea simply because someone said so.
