    One simple thing is to pull off the gasket at the back of the hood.

    I have also heard of people raising the back of the hood slightly to allow hot air to escape. But that is pretty ricer.

    Yeah...removing the rubber gasket lets tons of air escape out the back...the only thing I hate about it is when I'm all spider monkeyin' up in the engine bay and I gotta rest my hand on it or somethin'...and I'm like ****, this used to be a nice spot to set my hand...
