My Six-speed Hates Me

No.
I've considered venting, but coolant temps are not an issue at my power level with the Supermiata rad and reroute. And talking with my aero buddy there is a drag penalty associated with the hood vents, which we think outweighs the marginal reduction in lift and the increased heat exchanger air flow which isn't needed.
If it drops engine bay temps significantly, then it may help trans temp slightly. One thing a lot of mustang road race guys run is a trans air scoop. You could use the stock subframe brace to mount a scoop to blow air at the trans.
