I failed to find it but there was a hatchback car posted here that had a massive air dam with a notch in the center I wanted to use as an example. It was some theory like wheel spats and a jet of faster air down the middle to pull air out of the engine compartment or something. Also additional clearance so you don't high-center on gravel roads. Maybe aerohead has an example.
It looks like in your case, a bellmouth or plenum on the intercooler/trans cooler would be called for.
Have you thought about a varnished redwood 'barrelback' airocap?

Because I have.
Edit: *Okay, 13-second quarters. Got it. |
Right now even in 120 deg heat I have no overheating issues. The opening in bumper and AirDam seems to give pretty good air movement. I can read and record the ambient air and also air temp as it enters the engine. Currently only a 5-11 deg diff depending on speed. Testimony to how well my cold air intake works in conjunction with the custom homemade Intercooler. LOL
Hoping for a 12 second 1/4 mile pass this coming Friday . . With the A/C on of course!
