It does not seal against the hood; some modified Turkey Pans have a flexible foamy type cushion at the top to seal it off for a "ram air" effect.

The Turkey Pan provides little, if any, performance increase. More likely it lessens horsepower but I've haven't put mine on the dyno and checked it with the pan on and off. That's a good project for the Spring. Aside from looking cool, the Turkey Pan might help prevent gas percolating in the carb after you've parked. Truth be told, that's probably the only benefit to having one.
