Thats a lot of change in the nose area. I wonder if it's really that bad. I would hope not.

I've seen this airflow sheet in Jack Yamaguchis FC book. So it's been around since the prototype days of the FC. I know aerodynamics haven't changed since then.

Oh well, I'm rambling on.

 

it would change with the rake of the car though...

hmm if I cut a rad hole out between the FTP's does that mean air would come out instead of in

 

yah prolly, you need to cut the moulding like the japanese



mike

 

actually, I think the longer the lines are, the more pressure there is i.e. long lines = lots of air pushing against that spot.

 

I was thinking, just put a large NACA duct in the front of the hood between the headlights.

 

guys......no ****...aero works good at 120+mph dont **** with it..this is from personal experience in the racing industry



a naca duct in between the headlight would cause a low pressure surge in the front or the car..that is why you will never see one set up like that on a production racing car..



just watch speedvision/espn2 and observe how the vents are setup/ mounted..and please dont look at nascar for aero advice

 

Perfect illustration why a cowl induction hood works.

 

and the t2 hood scoop doesnt



mike

 

stupid scoop, why couldnt they at least center the damm thing,

you know how many cars in the 80's had those stupid offset scoops?
