Throw some washers in the bolts at the back of the hood and remove the seal and that will let some air flow out through there.
Have you done any testing to prove this dropped engine bay temps? Years ago I read this wasn't a good idea on our cars & would actually slow down air flow through the engine bay. Don't recall exactly why, possibly something about that are being a high pressure zone?
I'm typically 200-206 & sometimes up to 210. Still have AC & believe Victory Performance FMIC uses a Garrett core (which aren't know for the best airflow across the core). Car has ducting as well & stock thermostat. Main fan is a 13" SPAL.
