Fuselage Vents

I DO know that at 70 knots, opening the vent in my Speed Astir (AKA the 'Grob Solar Sauna) will drive the altimeter down 100' instantly, so there is positive pressure to deal with. I also know that I have a perfect spot to make an 'experimental' vent that is completely removable. Increasing airflow in the cabin is more important to me than the performance gain.
