I would also be interested in the hole area vs. hole quantity analysis. I have tinkered with it on my car and can't really "feel" the difference and lap times have not been significantly different.
Amazing thread! I've also been tinkering much more with vented bladder shocks on my vehicles. Theoretically the vented bladder build should give a much more consistent shock and so far I have had pretty good success with them. I have however had a more challenging time getting them built identically from shock to shock.
