Sorry to the powers to be about the initial overly commercialized post, hope this makes the cut, just looking to share info...

So I got these hood extractors installed on my fox the other day and wanted to share some wind tunnel data with the community. Interesting to see most hood vents do provide some additional cooling and actual front downforce. Will be seeing how these work on my fox in a few weeks.

I like when they stick those little pieces of paper on the car that show air flow, I watched a video where they used a smoke wand to show the air stream around a car.
i'm kind of a visual guy.

So I will be posting some detailed results on the Race Louvers facebook page tomorow, but today in light rain we ran the car in qualifying with race louvers, the front grill restricted and 3 degrees of additional wing to balance the car and then later in the race in the same light rain without race louvers, the larger usual grill opening and 3 degrees less wing our best lap was about 7 tenths of a second slower.
