Lightbulb Any Tips for Recording Engine/Exhaust Sounds?

Hi All, I have a couple of GoPro's and external mic's I'd like to use to try and get some video with solid audio. I've found it pretty challenging to get audio that does not have too much wind noise, and also captures the noises of the turbo under the hood.

Has anyone miked up their engine bay for a track day that can share some input on placement/mic windsocks/etc.?

Also any editing techniques would be appreciated. I plan to split the audio tracks and overlay them to balance the sound as best I can. I'm expecting I'll need to lower the recorded volume of the exhaust mic to avoid too much road/wind noise and then bump it a bit in post.
