I put aluminum duct tape over them. With the small surface area of the holes there is no way they will leak. Of course, if you want to run your ram air covers, that could be an issue.

yes shane i am going to JB weld them bu putting masking tape inside and filling them up about 1/3 the way and pull the tape out after it sets. sofar it is either weather clutch or my 3 ram air leaks slowing me down. the engine has plenty of compression i think at 225 to 235 psi cold.

Given those options, it's the clutch. The ram air leak from those holes is nothing at dragstrip speeds, imo.
You wouldn't even see .5 psi at the dragstrip, under best conditions.
When troubleshooting a problem...look at what has changed, or could have changed.
