how much heat does the cover add?

**RideWithPride** · 07-30-2012

Just wondering how cool will my car be with the engine cover off?

the blower might be 1-5* cooler that's about it

take it off in the summer, rock it in winter.

-12º

I doubt anyone has actually measured it. Honestly..I notice no difference with or without.

Racekars don't have engine covers do they? Exactly remove it..

I found a nice place for mine in the trash barrely on day2 of ownership. I got a supercharged car for a reason.

Nobody ever says, "Hey pop your hood and let me see that sexy engine cover".

Some people have air brushed engine covers that look better with it in place then not.

It also depends on the state of the engine too. One that is all nasty/gunky and ****, then yeah, rock the engine cover. But if you've got it cleaned/painted etc, the take it off. I never used mine except on the drive home.

I don't imagine there's much of a temp difference on/off. Maybe sitting at prolonged idle, but doubtful whilst driving.
