[QUOTE="Brad, post: 1332368, member: 4683"] I’m just making assumptions based on how I’ve seen fans like that perform. My understanding of how those vents work is as you’re moving down the road air flow passing over your hood naturally extracts air out of the motor bay via those vents. The only way I could think of testing it is putting the fan in there, wiring it though a computer or something, and taking RPM diagnostics like the one that tells you your CPU fan speed. Although that seems like a lot of work, and I’m pretty sure at highway speed they’re not doing much other than cutting down the volume of the area in which heat can be extracted through the vent. I guess the first test I would do is just sick the fans in there, get out onto the highway with the fans off, and try to peek out and see how fast they're spinning. I guess if they're not spinning very fast running them would be a benifit, but if they're going nuts you can either run more test or just assume they're hurting air flow. Go test it, now I’m really curious, if it works you could prob make some money selling these things. [/QUOTE]
