I told them I needed it to flow well at the higher rpms (6,500rpm+) but that I also needed it to come out of slow corners hard. They seem to have accomplished that in terms of the AFR and power delivery.<br />As for the wing, yeah, I know it's a bit "over the top." I had originally purchased it to do some R&D for a Viper wing but ended up not using it on the Viper. So, it was just gathering dust. The car will weigh somewhere around 2,700lb., and downforce would be an issue without a wing. Without the flared fenders, it looked WAY goofier, but now that the fenders are mounted, it doesn't look as inappropriate. The wing's angle of attack is fully adjustable, and I'll probably set it at its least aggressive setting.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 15, 2003, 11:03 AM: Message edited by: Bill/APEX Motorsports ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
