I’m really interested in this mod. Will it move enough air to overcome the vacuum created at the back of the car at 70 or 80 MPH, e.g. you are getting cold air sustained high speed.

Mike, for as much as you've done for this hobby, I'd run behind your car at speed with a fireplace bellows to keep you cool.
Aside from that - my 'empirical' data - shows that my 70-80mph drives have been way WAY cooler than before. I do not feel the increase in temps as I did, which had been noticable.
Sorry to say I didn't do it the way "Pantera Place" would do it. I just didn't think to do the 'before' prior to the popped hose.
I have a hard time believing the CFM rating on the ebay description at 1200 or whatever it says, but I believe it must certainly be twice what the old cranky fan was. Good enough for me.
SIDE NOTE: Got my new condenser in yesterday. Whoa. I had lucked up and emailed THE ONE GUY in California who happens to make Pantera-sized dual parallel condensers. I could not believe it. Got him on the phone to make sure at least one of us wasn't on drugs at the odds.
Yes, he's the guy.
I'll post a thumbs up or down once my AC person gives his 'real' opinion. All I know is that it fits and was um, extremely reasonable.
