I am thinking I need to leave say 8" open all the time and just close the rest when needed.

Ideas?
If I recall correctly, you have two power lock motors, right? Well then make two smaller vents instead of one big one. Both should be closed when you start the car, then open one vent if the fan keeps turning on too often. Open the second vent only when the first isn't enough. Ideally, the vent that stays open longer should be in the middle, but where you put it depends on space limitations and on how your radiator is situated.
