Can't do throttle stop testing?

Aerohead built up the area around his cowl.
Perhaps he can share the results here. I can't recall what sort of results he got.
Aerohead, you out there ?
As for my personal testing, I do plan to do throttle stop testing for sure one of these days.
I have yet to try it.
I think it's a brilliant technique if I can make it work.
I asked about the Prius and Fit cowl pressure because I thought you might know that off hand.
I went looking for CFD images of a Prius to see if there was indeed less cowl pressure because there is less of a dramatic kink in angles at the cowl, but I'm not finding any at the moment.
