"What is your opinion of creating a "vent" at the end of the hood by raising the hood (ignore the hood scoop in this example)? :"

I like the extra exit area, although it is in a somewhat high-pressure zone. Also, there is probably less restriction with the large, rough passage around the engine than in a small, rough dryer hose, or bunch of hoses. It would probably pay to add some fairing where the hood used to be, to make a smooth tapered passage to the exit slot.
