2nd gen air flow questions
thinking about removing the rubber seal between the hood and firewall. at idle and slow moving I'm sure it'll let hot under hood air escape. but I'm worried about while moving. do you think it would just end up making a "cowl induction" and sucking air under the hood instead of leting air out?
if it did, it would mean more air needs to go through the tranny tunnel which might mean less through the bumper? if the pressure was too high under the hood now from the new air?

I've done this to my '87 for a few years now, and I haven't run into any weird problems.
If you're curious to see what the air is doing, tape down pieces of string in the area and go take a drive!
