I like the styling of the cowl hood but the flat is probably easier to build large venting in ala OLAC.

Yup.

Great work, by the way, thanks for taking the time!

Yeah I did some staring at the the side fenders and may do a pressure differential test in that spot for fun though for style purposes I'm not sure I would add any venting. I'm also thinking about doing some tuft or pressure testing around the inner fender openings. My TCI subframe kit came with block off plates to seal the opening from the inner fender to subframe which I never installed. I'm wondering if that section allows high pressure air from the wheel well to enter the engine compartment too.
