Hello,
the wind tunel is a very expensive method of measurement.

You can improve the quaity of your aerodynamic by wool threads on the surface.
For fine modifications, I made testdrives, then I changed the shape.





Example: modification at the wheelhouse.
The wheelhouse are very sensitive, so little changes can bring a other airflow.



Before you go in to the windtunel, make sure that you can modify the car in a short time, to compare the original car with the modifications.

A flow meter diagram can also help, to estimate the results.

Measure with open and closed air intake for the heat exchange.
