The only way you can extract more heat is to make holes toward the rear of the engine bay so it can blow out whilst driveing.
are the holes where your louvers are cut out?
I have seen some cars where the louvers have been fitted over the area where the hole should be.
also are your louvers facing the correct way?
alot of under bonnet heat is generated in most cars.
if your engine timing is incorect or your fuel mixture wrong then this will add heat to your engine and exhaust system.
