The CarbonSignal vents (rearward flowing up the sides) could work, too, but it would just be nice to see some real pressure/flow proof.
No, we haven't and we should. Behind the radiator is probably the highest pressure area that we want to release. Above the headers is the hottest area but there isn't much airflow going up from there. Vents won't do a whole lot to cool the intake tubes, but the hot metal everyone with G3s runs robs power.
