[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 734689, member: 1594"] Wiz indicated that the spray from his windshield sprayers was disrupted by all the flow from his highly modified hood vents, and theorized that that's why the ports in the hood are so small and as far to the outside from the windshield sprayers as possible. Since I don't want to create one problem when I solve a non-problem, I decided on a minimalistic approach. I used a 45 degree drafting triangle to lay out a cut to the underhood blanket, and simply cut it in place with a pair of sharp scissors. Then I laid out the cut to the fiberglass, also with the drafting triangle. I cut the triangular extension to the hood port with a Dremel cutting wheel, and finished shaping and smoothing it with a Dremel sanding drum. I figure I've increased the air flow by maybe 50%, and probably without disrupting the spray from the windshield sprayer. Didn't have to remove the underhood blanket. [/QUOTE]
