They may help with venting heat soak at shut down. That’s all. The rest is owner feel good because they feel hot air coming out. The engine room, unlike a boat has no floor and is wide open. The air that enters the radiator is the same temp with or without the vents. Yes the engine room area tends to trap air underneath and become higher pressure, but if you look at the cross sectional area of the vents compared to the radiator and CFM the fan CAN move, it’s not a helpful factor. Not only that on most vent jobs, cut that area by 50% as only half if the vent functions due to step intrusion. The biggest help in cooling for me was the Hi flow Flowkooler 195 stat, and the under core support air deflector, both from Applied. 🎄🎄🎄🎄
