Actually your rearward opening scoop sucks air in to the engine bay at speed. At very low speeds a certain amount will flow out but as speed increases a high pressure area, called a stagnation point is created at the base of the windscreen. This is why your cabin air inlets are placed there - so they suck air in, not out. Your scoop does the same thing, to a greater or lesser degree depending on size, shape and placement. The air sucked in to the engine bay escapes out the bottom, assisting in cooling the transmission as it flows by. A well designed setup, similar to, say, an A9X, will draw in to the back of the engine bay and have a significant effect on removal of heat.
Of course, increasing the amount of air under the car does all kinds of strange things to aerodynamics and, at a high enough speed will actually contribute to a reduction in traction. Oh? Your Triton doesn't do 300km/h? No MNs do so it isn't such a big problem. However, the addition of a well designed wing will counter any lift and return downforce and therefore improve handling. They actually work from about 80km/h.
The changes at the front sound like they make a significant contribution. Well done on that.

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay us to do it?
