#313560 i'm a little bit late on this reply, but i just noticed this post. Import tuner did a study on this a while ago, and the propped hood dropped the temperature inside the engine bay by about 2-3 degrees F. not much of a difference, but it will help

#313562 On of the most pointless ricer mods.. Like rusting your body panels or adding tow hooks.

friend of mine had a b20 swapped EF9. he needed hood risers so the hood would clear the valve cover.
but on EGs, its pretty much just for looks.

not so on EG's the hood for the US model's will clear for the D series but it will usually hit on B series. usually on the driver side where that ground is on the valve cover.

the cars with the B- series engine's hood are slight different on the under side like the skeleton is slight higher to clear the valve cover.
