I don't really think the hood vents do all that much to reduce under hood temps. They're just too small.

I'd think the 13-14 vents do a lot more than the 15+ vents.

I agree, there is a lot of heat expelled through the vents.

There is no significant heat generating differences between the 11' 5.0 engine and the 14' 5.0 engine that would require you to need heat extractors on the hood...

The lead ford mechanic agreed with you and my temps are fine.
