I can think of a few tests to run. There will be multiple aspects to take in mind that i have not considered or have not written to make sure its an apples to apples comparison.
-Check if air is flowing in the right direction using little streamers inside the hood. If they pop out of the vents air is flowing in the right direction.
- Are temps being reduced? Temp probes, measure/compare temp with vents open and closed. (No wind day, same direction on same road, engine temp stabilized, load/speed
(correct speed to there can be enough thermal transfer for prob to actually measure temp of air)/rpm constant, at night). General Probe inside hood, probe inside by vent where air should be flowing, probe directly outside vent in area where air should be flowing, probe out side of hood off to the side.
Or you could strap someone to the hood and have them feel if warm air is coming out....
