"Back in the Day" small bore (Sprite, Midget, etc) racing in SCCA used to block up the rear edge of the hood up a couple of inches, I guess because of a high pressure area under the hood. Don't know if it's legal or not these days but it sounds like a good way to exhaust a high pressure area and even add a smidgen of streamlining. It would kill the effectiveness of your turkey pan, though.
