Yeah, I understand; that's why I mentioned the need for positive air pressure. The air coming out the holes is coming out just as hard as it is out of the vents on the dash. I'm in less danger than if I had done nothing and kept the fan off.

Blow on your hand as hard as you can. It's just a little weaker than that, but with more volume because of the size of the holes - each about the size of a half dollar coin.
