pose_Z34 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I noticed a pic of a 1991-94 Lumina 3.4 sedan and it didn't have the vents on the hood. Aren't the vents there to prevent cooking the motor? Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of temporarily swapping the hood from that very car to my Z34 while it gets repainted. Opinions??

meltboy1 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Personally I think it will be fine, the cuttys came with a 3.4 and how many of them have vented hoods... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Na, it won't really do any preventing from cooking the motor. I think 95% of their purpose is for looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pose_Z34 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Never thought about the cutty's. Always saw them on the Z's and GTP's, but wasn't sure about the 3.4 sedans. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT2B GM Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 they do allow for some heat dissipation, but they are not an essential part of the cooling system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT2B GM Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 During highway driving, the engine shouldn't get hot enough to require the cooling fans in the first place. With or without louvers. But I know what you're saying Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiacmaniac94 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Just add a valence, and you'll be fine I was thinking the exact same thing as I read the first few posts in this thread still, the cool factor is major, especially on the GP, and the Lumina, makes em look fast....and i am pretty sure it adds atleast 15+ hp, but dont quote me on that....
