Have you ever lifted your hood without hood shocks?
It is as heavy as the engine.
Try it.

consider a vented hood to help that hot air escape your engine bay.

I run a stock 1JZ with twins and boost controller. Running at approximately 11lbs of boost, I have never had an issue with my 1JZ in the Phoenix heat (110 average). I do have a very large front mount also.
