Bob, do you have a build log with pictures here? I would love to see pictures of your exaust system.
Heat in the engine room is an issue if you don't find a way to get good airflow through it and out the back of the car. I've been thinking about this as it relates to a track car. In that case the car doesn't spend much time with the engine running and stoped such as in traffic so I will have good airflow over the car 98% of the time.
So I think I want to try a full flat bottom and replace the air comming from the bottom with air inlet from the sides and wheel wells into the engine room. But for now I can only go with information from #1 that Fran has experianced. In the end I believe they ran the car with the bottom of the engine room open. It may have been that it was the first season and they may have ran out of development time, but I want to give a full flat bottom a try.
If I can get that to work then a proper difuser will follow. I really bought the car so that I could learn/play/develop a car for the track with a good areo package.
