We should also discuss the conditions (track type), power levels, ambient temps, and also the average RPMs when comparing results. If you're not using the whole motor (shifting before redline, coasting to break zones, etc.), then the results might get misleading, at least in comparison with others'.
I would tend to agree but not based upon anything more than looking at the design of the front fascia, the shock absorbing material, and the crush bar. I suppose if you cut away all of that it would help but without the benefits of a wind tunnel to see what the air is doing you are really guessing. I'm keeping mine in the lower grill, close to the a/c condenser, and going to fab up some aluminum sheet to funnel the air into this area and minimize places to bleed air around and create turbulence. This is probably ways away for me but that is the direction headed based upon everything I've seen thus far.
