We seen instances where people removed boxes, batteries, etc. from the engine bay and certain areas got hotter than normal. My strng suggestion to everyone is to do "REAL" research before trying mods like this. Its similar to guys who increase intake ducting side for more "airflow". Great job because they just decreased intake air velocity.
+1. Not sure if anyone has ever heard of eductor pumping action. Top vents and right air check valve has a purpose. Not such a good idea punching a hole into the engine cooling construct. Can't say the same about the side vents... those are fake.
