LOL--I used to explain the engine EGR system as "fart sniffing" for cars. |

They'd probably never let us teach at high school level. |

Taking those measurements from that diagram to my car, its (Hsp) is 2 inches and its (Hnadw) is 44 inches, so its ratio is 4.5%, right in the middle of the negative range.

Thanks joos,
From previous pictures, I though you might be close to the minimal value.  |

If you run across a Corvette or Trans Am Firebird it'd be worth your while to crawl under for a peak.( be prepared to explain yourself to the owner ).
There might be some stuff on the web but there's nothing like looking the beast in the face.
The distance ahead of the radiator is a big issue,as is air-tightness.The thing won't work without the airdam and they ride very low to the ground.
Four-season driveability could be an issue.I've never 'lived' with one of these,don't know.
They cut the Firebird's Cd by 0.011 so it's something worth looking into,no pun intended. |

Neighbor has a late model Corvette. Next time he has the car cover off, I'll ask for a look.
