I may just be completely misunderstanding this but what does it help to reroute the breather hose to the ground?

It took me a while to realize that my motor was not getting hot enough for the ETMS to shut down the rear cylinder. Whenever my motor got hot enough for the ETMS to kick in before I got the Wards fans, it did not run as well until it cooled back down, which would take a long while, even running at a constant 50 mph cruise. This is exactly what I was hoping the fans would help with. I was especially concerned with this trip to TN in the August heat.
