Sounds like a great mod, i'm gonna try it. The only problem i can think of is if you burst an oil line or something simular, what are the chances of it sprayin up onto the windshield? hmm i wonder

Wow im surprised to see this thread again :O
If you guys are looking for an update, so far I've had no problems at all, and we've had some seriously hard core rains here in So Cal this winter.
I'd say this is a great addition to a lower temp t-stat and fan switch, but even on it's own it seems to help. When my fan kicks on at stoplights I can put my hand out the window and feel the heat just pour out of there

As for how much it made it cooler, well the thermostat never lets it drop bellow 187 (im using the stock temp sensor and everything for mog right now), but it does help in sitting traffic when the fan has to kick in at 225 (knocks it down to like 200 waaaay faster then bef)

good idea! I will try it...
What I do not understand is this:
you say " Once I get going on the freeway, it starts acting as a cowl induction deal, and air is rammed in."
How fresh air can go IN the engine bay if the car go in the direction of where the new opening is?
If the opening is in FRONT of the hood...
..I can't understand this cowl induction effect..
