it would be interesting to put an airflow sensor behind the trans cooler to see what the velocity of the air is. the cooler slows down the air some. someone reported the fender vents helped with dct cooling because the air was being evacuated more freely, and thus accepting more air through the cooler. interesting thoughts and discussion.
I would definitely expect better trans cooling with the fender vents. I actually forgot about the hood vent haha. That's a whole other set of variables with the unsealed intake tracts and whatnot. Gah I need all of the vents!

We need to get ryhary to put pressure sensors in the wheel wells and report back. I think he'd be game.
