If that is the case, synolimit would want to equalize the lb of downforce both front and rear. You wouldn't want to generate a huge amount of downforce in the rear and leave the front unattended creating unequal balance of downforce which I see a lot of people do nowadays which seems to be mostly the retarded clueless hellaflush crowd.. Considering that a proper wing(Ex. Voltex Varis) or even a lip spoiler with proper or aggressive angling does create on average 3 digit lbs of downforce, you will want to balance it out with with a front Lip, Canards, or even a vented hood, since a vented hood does release trapped air that would normally push the trapped air up creating lift so you don't have major squat under high speed with major front lift. You would want to provide traction to both front and rear and not just one. But yes the Front is heavier than the rear by quite a lot but the 370Z does have a hard acceleration which is where I can see why they placed more weight upwards. As for the aerodynamic mods, those really only come into effect once you hit the high 2 digits or simply 3 digits speeds in MPH that is HAHA.
Good luck with your build!!
