Although I too am a fan of the aluminum stand-offs, I'll be the first to say that faster is not *always* better :biggrin For verification, we can probably ask one of the blondes or redheads.
Regarding the license plate stand-off and the effect, or lack thereof, for heat dissipation, I'm not really sure that any static tests are going to tell us much. At the root of this, what we are interested to know about is the "air management" of the flow of air into and out of the engine compartment. By design, the GT is capable of ingesting large volumes of air through the side scoops at speed. How the air gets in is pretty obvious. Also obvious upon inspection, is that the side scoops represent just about the ONLY means of ingesting air. With a sealed undercarriage, no air is coming up from underneath the car. But, more importantly, we are interested in how the air gets OUT of the engine compartment - and if there's a demonstrable way to improve that.
As I see it, there are three main ways for the ingested air to exit. Keep in mind that this is really important because the exchange of external (cooler) air in place of the hot engine air IS linked directly to the car's ability to expel the heated air. So, we have the side vents around the rear window, we have the area to either side of the license plate and the plate area itself, and we have the area below the bumper.
Conceptually, it would seem that most of the air flows out the lower section below the bumper. This would appear to be the largest of the openings and it is also the least obstructed when a stock muffler is in place. So, I would think that the license plate stand-offs are going to be helpful (they sure aren’t going to hurt), but they are likely going to be more effective when a large rectangular obstruction is not placed just in front of them.
