After running my V8 914 at Road Atlanta this weekend, it became obvious that I need more Aero. Car became very light down the backstretch and I had to ease up a bit. I currently have an air dam on the front (no splitter) and an 8" Sheridan duck tail on the rear. Thinking I may need a rear wing. Ideas?

I'm still running the Vortex Generators along with the 8" Sheridan rear spoiler. To balance this out, I have a low front air dam with a splitter.

For the small cost, you might consider trying them out before going to a big wing.
You can order them here AirTabs


I had to put on a somewhat large splitter to balance the downforce on the front. I made these out of fiberglas for along time, but switched to 1/8" fiberboard because it's just as light, cheaper and more durable.

Did the front air dam start like this one on Pelican?
Great looking car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
