I see what you're saying, Chaz. Wyatt I think you two are on the same page, but different paragraphs. We're saying after the zero pressure point (the "floating valves" scenario), the air will lose its upward momentum and want to go back down, creating very slight pressure for the rear slope of the car, and pushing it forward ever so slightly. Yes, a T77A will have more return than a Prius or Insight, but they're both doing better than the Scion.

DCB, does one have to build the model in that program or can it be imported?
