Moving or idle...the cool air effect may decrease the temperature...now who
sells a hood like that?

Just one tiny correction; the cowl induction hood would actually suck
cool air in, as opposed to venting hot air out. Its still a good
thing, but slightly different concepts. Even though the "scoop"
is 180 degrees from the "relative wind", it still sucks air in due
to the vaccum effect. (Similar principle to drafting behind a semi...)
I suspect it would vent the hot air out when you were sitting
still, so I guess there are benefits wether you're idling or moving.
