I mean,get in,start it up,take off.
Gobs of power felt?
I think not.
On the track in conjunction with other parts at high RPMS.
Maybe so.
The whole idea sounds like a marketing ploy from the aftermarket guys.
Hey,they got bills to pay,right?
For us everyday drivers---a deduct from the bank account.

You are showing much ignorance on this topic. These hood vents are being developed for those of us that want to remove heat from our engine bays do to how we drive our cars and or the force induction system we have installed. Yes some will add the vent because they look cool more power to them. If you want to maintain yours cars performance the track, heat is not your friend on any high performance engine so the primary reason for hood vents is to get the heat out of the engine bay so that the engine can work efficiently. Getting the hot air out is not the end all as in doing so it should not impact the performance of the cars aerodynamics. If fact the air flow should be used to create additional down force and therefore aiding in the overall performance of the car.
Now that you have been edge-mi-cated to the basics, you are oblige to
if you can not provide any useful commentary!
