I disagree, Because there is high air pressure moving across the hood, =
and the way the top of the hood tips up at the end. I believe the air =
moving across the hood and over the windscreen, would actually draw the =
air out from under the hood.
I don't know for sure, but in my case, I know it is running a lot cooler =
even at high speeds. If I hook up the pusher fans, I bet it will be =
even cooler.
