I want to tuft the nose of the car to see what the "holes" are doing but I have a few questions first. Is there a generally accepted spacing and length for the yarn? Also I will be having another vehicle filming me. Is there a recommended distance either to the side or front that vehicle should be so their wake turbulence does not seriously affect the airflow over my car? The MPH should be 50 at a minimum because Aerodynamics become active around 45MPH if my understanding is correct?

Thanks
Dean
