Default honda wind tunnel models?

are there any wind tunnel tests on honda available for public?

i want to know how the air flows around the front of a del sol especially on top of the hood.

(not for a scoop)

if i remember on alot of hondas theres negative pressure above the hood.

if i was to make a pocket that isolates intake manifold
(like the subaru top mount intercooler has a gasket around it that seals the intercooler from the rest of engine bay.


if i did that as close as i can around intake manifold to circulate more air through it

would it drop the intake temperature significantly or not?

today i drove with the hondata IM gasket and temp dropped by at least 10 degrees
so if i could drop it even more by means of air circulation it would be cool.
