[DeTomaso] Has anyone researched hood vent designs?

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

Another aero device is vortex generators. 

 

I would try VGs on the L’s front bumper to provide some down force by keep air flow on the hood.  Hitting the Gurney lip would create lower pressure behind it, helping coolant air flow exhaust.

Yes, I asked the guy making the hood to include a leading lip.  That seems to make sense, and is pretty universal.

My gut feeing is the opening needs to be moved back to reduce air pressure over the opening.  And that probably depends on speed. Ken
