By using a fine stainless steel wire mesh, I have been able to cut off the air flow through the front openings and picked up almost 3 mph in the quarter mile by doing so. It also helped the front end from becoming "light" so to speak. I do have a "wing" on the back of my car which greatly assists in keeping the car "planted" as I almost always go over 150 mph on each pass down the drag strip. If the track is really slick, I have even raised to angle of the wing (approx 5 degrees) to assist - and it does. However many of you will probably not want to install such an item - as it does change the appearance of the car, function over form.
