Default engine bay pretty warm?

hey guys so usually daily driving my short ram intake, and intake manifold are pretty warm after a drive which is understandable, but even after long highway drive the stuff is even warmer? what would you consider reasonable options for keeping it cooler in there, and considering im turbo'ing wont it get even warmer in there? lemme know what you guys think

if you wanna keep the bay cooler lift your hood from the hinges- kinda like lifting it an 1'' or lower

hood tilt actually works. go for a long drive and stick your hand behind your hood and you will feel the warm air escaping.

an all aluminum radiator will keep your engine cooler.

my car is boosted and it did get really really hot under there. I installed header wrap on my manifold and it works great.
