Having no more experience than reading books online, here is an interesting idea I would like to run by you guys and you can let me know if it is feasible or tell me I need to put the crack pipe down... 
We are going to increase the number of disks in our SAN, and I was speaking with the SAN administrator and he mentioned the shuffling of logical drives to match the new space. He said he is going to have to go through quite a few combinations/permutations on figuring out the best configuration for what data goes on the old vs. new to get the optimal space.
Is this something that can be modeled out? I can write something that recursively figures it out, but why not explore fun ideas with tools that may be able to do it?
Thank you in advance,

If you collect enough data you can easily build models to predict what best performance. You should include things like load, etc. You can likely start off by using the Analyze Key Influencers tool in the Data Mining Addins for Office 2007 to get a rough idea of what factors indicate the best configuration.
