Have you made changes to your 914 body or are you thinking of it?
Here are a number of computer models comparing different body modifications to the 914 and the effects that they have on the cars aerodynamic drag. http://www.cassidy-online.com/porsche914/aerodynamic_aids |

Hey!
Thanks for the big shot of the different versions with the HP gain or loss. I think it's fricking awesome that a 2 HP gain is obtained by simply adding vertical slots to the sail panels. That's most of the maximum 2.4 or so HP gain from the slanted rear window AND the rear wheel covers. All from a simple area mod...... You ought to have somebody model that area in more detail with a few other versions. We ought to get more engine cooling AND more HP from the slots. Wonder what rounding the sail panels inward at the rear would do? Better air flow around the cab??? Curving or rounding the sail areas in combo with the slots???? That might funnel air into the grill area. Combo of sail slots and a wing gives what kinda flow???? Spring loaded flaps in the sails to move with the flow and open up to get the free HP at speed????? Replacing the flat sails with tubing to make a tubular rollbar having the sail panel profile????..... Hmmmmmmmm....
