When you raise the hood like that, you create an opening for air to go through. Remember that air is lazy, and tends to go from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
The area around the firewall is a low pressure area because the engine and vehicle body block most of the airflow.
So when you raise the hood like that, air will tend to go into the engine bay from above, and not the way you think it would go. Read up on cowl induction to find out more.
But again, this is a generalization and may not be true without testing. The shape of the windshield and vehicle play a large role.

Thats what i said. But in 3rd grade grammar.
And a lil comment on the s14 posted.
Looks like the owners a ricer. Has enough money to buy a body kit and some rims.
But ghetto painted his headlights and lifted his hood to where it looks retarded.
And having a front bumper with an opening that huge, and all you see is the frame...no IC or anything. So guessing its a stock KA. YEEE!
EDIT: Looks more like a fanboy now. Drifter wanna be with them zipties.
