Lowered hood air flow

This is mainly for race/wake chasing riders with superjets or sxr800...Does anyone with a/m lowered hoods add 1"+ holes at the front of the hood to increase airflow? similar to the stock sj hood which has 3 holes on the right side.

Is this worth it for feeding the carbs more air and keeping airflow to cool the outside of the engine, or is this just gonna add to water intrusion? I would cover the holes with frogskinz for added insurance. I had good results with these on my stock hood back when I was doing a lot of subs/firehose/nose stabs

I ran Blowsion and Wamiltons Hoods with XMetal Poles with Pole Breathers. Never an issue. you could add holes in the front, Frog Skins would help with water intrusion.
