Does your wind tunnel have a moving floor?

Was that a serious question? If so please explain.

EDIT: Sorry I´m slow.. I guess you question the aerodynamic idea? If so, I´m no expert but as I understand it this is a pretty common mod that mimics the proven functionality of eg GT2. Anyway, I´m already into it, getting all dirty so it´s not a question of IF, just how to.
-Very jealous of your FVD exhaust btw... :-)

I’m surprised you’re struggling with front end stability, do you have a wing in the rear that is compromising the balance? If you want to improve front end stability a simple 4” splitter will do far more than playing with airflow in and out of the radiators. Keep in mind to that as you block air from passing underneath the car you will be reducing air that makes it to your brake ducts.
