    Is the path direct?

    Have you studied the areas of heat and the areas of pressure then placed the extractors there?

    the main issue is your block and heads are aluminum, robs heat from the combustion chamber.

    I don't have a GXP, but are you talking about the "vents" in the quarter panels by the doors?

    The GXP heat extractors are blocked. But they can be made functional if you remove the material blacking them.
