Engine bay/under hood heat

[sqrlnts]

Any slick ideas for removing some of the engine bay heat besides driving faster? My engine temps are fine, no overheating. Phoenix has some looooong stoplights that sometimes takes a light or two before your through the intersection.

I should mention I am not a big fan of traditional hot rod louvers although they would probably do the trick. I am running an electric fan already.

My current cowl vent is blocked off in the lower cab kick panels but open up top in front of the windshield, so essentially its unused. Would I be going backwards in thinking I could open up the firewall (somehow) to the cowl, to vent some heat? Or is this just asking for more in cab heat?

Hell i have even considered using small electric 5" muffin fans mounted to the inner fender wells to extract heat. Not my idea but read it in a book on our trucks.

Any ideas?
