Don`t have a definitive answer , but at a track weekend over Memorial weekend at VIR , the subject came up bewteen a FFR driver and me . He had a FFR spec racer and I had my ERA . He said his front end got light at about 130 mph , as did mine . We talked about adding a front spoiler and I suggested he try raising the rear of his hood some and see what happened ( he could do that a lot easier than I could ) . As luck would have it , he forgot to fasten his hood pins and lost his hood on the first lap , but decided to make lemonade instead by testing out if no hood would make the front more stable at speed . He said he couldn`t see any difference , but then , he had no hood at all . Maybe he screwed up his air flow totally with no hood .
I`ve wondered the same as you if it would make a difference as it seems logical that it would .
