My findings:

My first outing since cutting hood will be this weekend. I will report back with some data. I was having problems getting the nose down on our hardest turn at the roadcourse I usually run at (turn 1 is 110 mph and I have trouble getting front bite on 225 hoosiers). These cars get light in the front and to alleviate that I cut the heck out of my hood and ran airflow over the front. I also just ordered Greddy lip (not here yet) and will be blocking off the bottom of the car w/ a large splitter. It does not seem right to route air UNDER the car the way they did. They figured out how to put a spare in the car is what I'm figuring.

Here is what I did to my hood - it is a FULL RACE CAR.

I am assuming this is going to make a BIG difference on front end handling at high speed. Also look at all the GTC cars - they do the same thing by moving radiator ducting over or out of car.
