Maybe there's no difference underneath. I almost feel bad for mentioning it.
Okay thanks for that. I did read a thread by Verus Engineering on their temps with and w/o the vents. They measured mild temp drops around the coil pack areas.
The main reason I want some heat relief from the vents is the freshly installed Oil Cooker.
