Some of my autocrosses I more or less hot lap with very little time to cool down and i've never had any overheating issues with the stock equipment.

If you want a cheap trick, use risers on the hood hinges to raise the back of the hood near the cowl. This will allow air to be sucked back into the engine bay like a cowl induction hood of the good ole days. This is a common trend in the korean scene. Rside makes a riser kit that kspec sells.
you actually dont needd to buy their kit i looked at it and said that is expensive for the parts that they send you

all i did was removed one side at a time put a couple 1/8 inch washers in each one then did the other side then aligned my hood so that it latched properly and installed hood pins in the front near grill for added safety and it sits about a half inch above the fender

the hood looks good plus i did notice a few degrees lower running temp ( not much to really say so though ).
