How would this benefit more than just having a 2x25" opening in the bottom grill. I would think smoothing out the belly completely and just having a small opening in the front would be more beneficial, but you got the holy aero bible, so you would know better.

Although, you may benefit even more if you do what you say in your diagram, but instead of an opening with an angle (which creates a parachute), you could have a completely flat belly with NACA ducts. That is my plan for my belly pan, whenever I get around to it.

In your diagram, you have the air escaping out the bottom, but why can't you exhaust out the top, up and over the windsheild like Hucho mentions (other than having to cut the hood open)?
