[DeTomaso] Possible Hood Vents

[Göran Malmberg]

Sorry to say, I havent measured the actual lift at the hood. I left it
unlocked and it raised some inch, but this isn’t any number. But the
original wing deliver about 150p at 100 mph, if in the right position.
And the pressure is measured in between the hood and rear of the car. In
the case there is a lifting force from under the hood, the wing is
having 
even this to overcome. I should check the lift at the locking mechanism
of the hood when given the time.

Thats why Jr Wilson added a rear wing to The Monster for SS running. 
There's a LOT of lift off our decklids and the curved area below it! As
I keep 
repeating, you gotta balance the car both weight and aero-wise. FWIW- J
