I am having concerns with the possible heat build-up in my RCR P4 when stoping / shutting off the engine after a hard run. Not having really driven it much yet, I'm imagining my carbs boiling over.

I usually try to open the hood on my GTD after a hard run, but can't always do that. Fran made a nice pair of heat shields, but with no air movement, will the carbs perculate? The stock engine headers went down instead of up, so there wouldn't have been an issue.
I was thinking of installing a fan on each side, using an "off delay" relay, so the fans would run a few minutes after shut-down. There are two access openings I could pull cooler air through to blow around the carbs & header.


Any suggestions? Is this stupid?
