*Flow 'C' will travel below your new nose,curve gently upwards along a large radius'd duct wall,contained within side walls.
*The opening leads to an airtight duct leading up to the radiator core,aided by the new air dam below.

Aero is right, the trans ams, fieros all had an air dam there. I have an opening similar to you, it won't do anything. Need some high pressure to encourage it to go through the radiator. You can reduce this by increasing the low (much like the trans am).
