I wouldnt think that having the vehicle stationary in a wind tunnel is any different than in motion..

your looking at the areodynamic properties of the vehicle, not its drive charactoristics..
Airflow is airflow across the vehicle.. measure your air speeds while doing 55mph then simulate that in the wind tunnel, apply smoke, see what works and what doesn't..
