Is there any mod I can do to my hood to keep engine cooler(ex: reverse cowl scoop like on camero Z28)? Also I wanted to install a cai with a cold air box, sealed by closing the hood, will this kind of hood effect a cai maxium operation. What is the most efficient way to make a cai perfom properley for my 86 rx7 na?

If your engine is running too hot then it has some type of problem that you should get fixed by a mechanic.
A "proper" CAI setup requires over $3,000 worth of parts, including a standalone EMS, individual throttle body and manifold, and a custom air box. See page 11 for an example:

I have a street port and Rb exhaust no cats,no header. I been told a cai will help improve performance and my car dos'nt run hot I just wanted to take advantage of the areodynamics of a reverse cowl to push out some of the engine hot air out. I just dont know if the cowl and cai will work indepently of interfere somehow, since I'm using the closed hood to seal off my cold air box?

Why a cowl instead of a drop vent style like Sexy Style or Mazdaspeed hoods if its going to be used for cooling?
I know cowl hoods are used as an intake to take advantage of the pressures generated by the angle formed from the hood meeting the windshield.

They look nice, but seem way too expensive for my budget. I was just gonna use a small reverse cowl. Will it work with a cai and box sealed by the hood getinh air from front bumper, pass side near brake vent?
