On corvettes they have a nifty design that may work for you. There is an airdam that covers the left and right sides lined up with the bumper, but the middle is lined up with the front of the radiator. This builds a little high pressure on the front of the radiator from the nasty air that is going under the car.

You could put in your belly pan and fold down a strip of it that lines up like the corvette's little scoop. Then you could terminate the belly pan with a slight downslope at the back of the engine bay to create a sucking effect so that air isn't expelled out the wheel wells, fenders and hood top.

How's that sound?
