Hi AdrianD,

RE: starting at the front and working back: I agree. I think, if nothing else, it will radically improve your cooling by reducing your underhood pressure. A small belly pan that extends rearward from the air dam will improve airflow through the radiator, not to mention retard and maybe even eliminate turbulent flow forming along the aerodynamically messy underside of the engine. Ideally you want your air dam to be as low as your lowest under-car feature, but anything is better than nothing.

Obviously you would need to do some testing to determine what will have the greatest effect on your bottom line.

The crossbar removal is a no-brainer, if you're not rooftopping anything, pull 'em. No expense, no permanent vehicle modification.

Having the BSFC map for your vehicle is great.
