I'm curious why owners say that the footbox vents don't work? I'm researching a vent system from CobraEarl's FFR Accessories that has 12v fans in it now in hopes I can stop the roast. My footbox fronts are covered with ThermoCool foil insulation, my headers are ceramic coated, my footboxes are insulated on the inside; I'm still roasting.

What method gets the most cooling effect? Should I wrap the headers? How about the space between the inner fender and the body? Should that be sealed off? I assume that the hose in the CobraEarl's kit ($180) will have to be insulated to prevent heating air from the front vents as it passes through the engine compartment so, will that help the kit work? Anybody tried that kit?

Burning up in New Mexico, top and bottom.
