How do you compensate for the loss of the venturi stacks that
are built into the stock air cleaner?

Has anyone stuck a temp probe under the hood against (or inside)
the air cleaner to determine if the existing air is really that hot
(at speed, not at idle)?

   Or  for  that matter, what is the under-hood static pressure, what are
   the  air  flow rates through and around the radiator (speed not idle),
   and  are those affected by blanking the apertures beside the radiator,
   or by use of a "spook" or deeper air scoop below the radiator?
   Gentlemen, get out your manometers...
