I read some guys remove the firewall weather stripping to allow for pressure relief.

Although I would like more downforce I can't bring myself to cut up the car like that. A splitter and larger rear spoiler may be in my future but I think I will only remove the weatherstrip regularly. Very large cooling systems have taken care of the heat escape issue.

If I may,
I run the Hex vents on my racing hood. I didn't want to cut up the factory hood, so I bought a hood off another guys car that went aftermarket... As someone mentioned, I also remove the weather stripping at the base of the hood near the windshield. We did a ZL1 like cover from the front fascia to the bell housing in addition to all of this. The Hex vents help with a lot of heat and air removal from the engine compartment... I've been 217 mph in the car so far and no front end lift.... Its quite stable.... I also tape off a good portion of the front end to limit air flow into the engine bay when running at speed...
