I'm curious if anybody has done some testing of running their /4 or /6 with and without an engine lid. Or maybe regular vs. GT engine lid. Any hard numbers to say if there's a noticeable impact given the low pressure zone over the engine bay.

In the early 1970's, I lived in Germany and drove a 914/6. The muffler rusted out and I replaced it with a 911 muffler. The rear valence would not fit because of the different angle of the 911 exhaust pipe so I left it off. The car ran noticeably cooler without the rear valence.
