Been looking for an answer to this but can't really find anything. I notice members on here not using their engine covers and was wondering if there was a proven benefit to this? I'm sure most are due to running intercoolers and clearance issues. But on stock blower setups does this help? Like with heat soak on hotter days and such? Also my car is a Daytona and has the vented hood, During warmer weather will it hurt to run without the intake tubing. Mines useless since I installed my intake.
