There was a thread here recently discussing value or lack of it for the rear valence. I know it can catch snow in cold climates and I think there was a pretty apparent wind resistance noted...
SO I've been think I might cut a few ( maybe two on each side) louvers as high as possible on the valence. I know some really nice venting approaches were in that other thread, but the focus was cooling, not drag. Question: am I waisting my time? Related #2: Is it of practical concaern or am I lost in theory? Will two 8 or 10 inch long 3/8ths slots be adequate? Thanks for any input... |

Some other questions I have:
Do you have SSI's? or stocker style HE's?? The SSI's run really hot compared to the stockers (obviously different materials) I have seen people with NO fuel pump vapor lock issues switch to SSI's and all of a sudden have an issue. Could have been coicidence.. maybe not.. B |
