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.
Some pics showing the aero mods front and back 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. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) FWIW I have that front and also the same rear as shown above -- both are Roger Sheridan pieces and are very nice. Be careful of adequate airflow to the brakes with these low front spoilers. I learned my lesson on that a few weeks ago. Big time pucker factor. |
