Agreed Fran. The bigger exhaust for the radiator should reduce restrictor in the airstream that is used for cooling the water. Ducting it inside the hood so that it all leaves the car at the cowl takes care of that segment of the total airflow over the front to the car. The other three, as I see it, are brake cooling, wheel well inflow and the portion that goes under the car.
You guys seam to have addressed the wheel well issue with holes in the inter wheel humps and slots in the top of them. By the way how much $$$$$$$$ are the two fender slots? Also how much did the inboard holes on the fenders help. More than the slots? or less? I'm trying to access them as % of improvement in relation to the slots.
Brake cooling is what it is. In the end it may not be really necessary for 25 minute sessions. If so I'll duct them as everyone else does and deal with the added airflow into the wheel wells.
The bottom line is this will not be a race car as in wheel to wheel racing. Just a purpose built track car that I may convert to a street car in it's second life in a few years. So I need to be careful with modes that would ruin it for street use. That's why we put in removable roll cage elements for example and I have made the full flat bottom removable under the engine.
I won't be pushing the car like Ryan does either. But then you knew that. So do I.
