Default Hood spacers?? Does it really help dispense heat?

Ok i have been having a problem these past couple of days. Its been about 100 degrees with an index of 105. When i have the a/c on while in stop and go traffic, my temp rises slowly. When i shut off the a/c, then it returns back to normal. With the hood spacers, will it actually act like a cowl induction and help reduce temperatures under the hood?

I am running a stock gsr radiator, one oem fan for the radiator and one 12" FAL fan for the condensor(both setup as pullers).

I hate houston weather

Yes, it should help.

Honestly though, the best way to find out, is to try it.

it will get rid of some heat, but not sure if its going to do that much for your temp, your motor is just working alot harder during the AC.

it doesnt dispense heat. its a cowl air "induction" that inducts air when your moving.
