RE: [DML] Venting outside air over engine

[Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxx>]

An interesting phenomenon I encountered when I put the BTTF build on the
back of my car is how much cooler the engine ran while I was driving. When I
built it I left the exhaust vents open to the engine cover vents. While in
motion, I get a Bernoulli Effect across the top of the vents creating a
vacuum at the back, thus sucking the hot air out of the engine compartment.
