when I did mine I think I did notice it stayed cooler, by a 5-8 degrees. course I did the ENTIRE car (door [inside and out], entire floor, back hatch area, t top area, firewall, sailpanels) ... Although I was going for reduced rattles and superior sound quality.

That exactly the way I build cars. My brother in law drives a riced out integra that is gutted to the extreme and he thinks its fast as hell and I'm always tellin him I'll beat his *** anyday anytime with my a/c on and the music cranked up sippin a big gulp.
You need to put on something that has a thermal barrier as well as acoustic. http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-the...-material.html
Essentially, it's the layer of aluminum foil, if you want to call it that, which acts like a thermal blanket keeping out heat. It works. Ask the turbo guys who wrap things around their turbo's with the stuff.

Reflectix helped a ton with heat insulation on my floorboards on top of the stick-on sound/vibration deadening. They sell it at Home Depot/Lowes (usually). It's used to wrap water heaters. It's like aluminum bubble wrap. I put two layers above the passenger hump and one to two layers over the trans tunnel and two+ layers on the floorboard over the exhaust piping.http://www.reflectixinc.com/basepage...&PageIndex=758
I imagine if you put some additional heat shielding underneath your car (and/or peel/stick some sort of insulation to the factory heat shields), that would help as well. I just bought a HUGE roll and cut the pieces to fit. Used the leftover material for front+side+rear window privacy shades/minor heat insulation since it looks like the same material used to make windshield shades.

That's what I did when I had my first car, a 2000 Dodge Neon with plans for a SRT-4 motor swap but until then, I had my car gutted but that was more for the track than anything really. With my Camaro though, I want it to have the power but the comfort to still drive it if I was to DD it for whatever reason. But that's funny about what you said regarding you brother-in-law, lol.
When I get around to having the money to buy something else to drive and be able to park my car and start re-doing every little thing I can on the car from the inside out, I'm gonna do the same to mine with it but I want it more for the noise to be reduced coming from the outside. The extra weight isn't gonna bother me any cause I'm plaining on building a motor that'll be able to handle the extra weight, , but I'm wanting something with the power that I want plus to be comfortable at the same time.
