Just to start, reducing lift is a 'functional' purpose and a benefit. I don't have any way to measure a temp change within the engine compartment both before or after the mod but with increased openings, it is unavoidable to have air flow not increase out the vents therefore remove more trapped heat. Having a more open grill than stock also changes these factors as more air in increases pressure helping to push out more air. Obviously some of the designs above and aftermarket hoods will allow and produce even better benefits. In regards to just mine, I have no doubt lift is reduced due to better air exiting which takes more heat with it. My hood no longer lifts at higher speeds on the track up to 140.db252 and this guy above...have you guys noticed any temp differences with those cut up like that? Seems like something easy to do and can still fully retain OEM functionality...but if it doesn't do much (besides reduce hood lift) then it's probably not worth my effort as I'm going for purely functional purposes.
