I was wondering if anyone has or knows of any aerodynamic charts or wind tunnel pictures from the factory? I'd love to find a way to pull heat out of the hood or pull air into it and cut down on aerodynamic drag but I want to know where I would benifit from modding them at. Thanks in advance.

That's the same way they tested them in the wind tunnels. Tape and string. I'd just hate to wait until I get my car and get it running and do it myself when it's been done and pictures are available.
