Great images, Ewheels. Thanks for sharing. Was thinking just to remove the side/ends of the rear seal but maybe that's not a good idea.@67Fast_V I've seen you mention it twice now....DO NOT remove the hood sealers on the rear of the hood next to the windshield. That's a localized high pressure area and if removed, you'll just force more air back into the engine bay rather than evacuating it.
I'm going to run a test this weekend with some pressure gages underneath the hood. I have 2 digital manometers and will install them and drive down the road to look at pressure vs. vehicle speed. Then I will stop and remove the side seals. Test. Then remove the rear seal. Test. See the differences. The manometer are good for very low pressures and I can run tubing and have the gages in front of me. Record with my phone.
Maybe a complete waste of time but we'll see how it goes. Will have to keep speeds down, but might be interesting. If I can measure the differences with seals removed and get consistent/repeatable results, then I will block-off the sides of the radiator and run the same kind of tests.
Will share the data when I get it. Thanks again for your input.
