We got this idea from someone else on this forum. Did it exactly like his write up said and they came out awesome. Crazy amounts of heat out too! I can't remember the members name so if someone has seen the write up, I'd like to thank him and give him props for coming up with the idea. I have 2 more cherokees to do this on as well.
FSH247 is the user name. I just found the link too. Here is a pic of ours and then the link to the write up is http://www.cherokeetalk.com/forum/f64/home-made-hood-vent-6783/

If you want the most efficient heat release, then use the last position. The first position looks cool but will put water on your fuel rail when it rains and will corrode your connections eventually.
