    Nick,

    The only downside of leaving gable vents when adding more at the ridge is that when you have more venting outlets than inlets, the attic can become depressurized, and that can increase air-leakage through the ceiling. In a garage, that’s not really an issue.

    Thank you.

    I’ll probably just leave the gable vents be.
