I had posted this inquiry before in the garage but I suppose I really should have posted it here...
I've a Sheridan standard wide-body that I'm having some floating issues with (no doubt due to the sbc anchor out back) and so I've decided to build a splitter in the hopes of keeping things a bit more stable. As you can see I have a duck tail but it's useless for any kind of real downforce nor can I say I'm keen on building a wing as this car is also streeted, but I think a splitter may help. Let's see what ya'll are building/have built! Thanks David |

Splitter will help make sure it goes all the way back to the rack cover plate. This will smooth out air flow under the car. I would start with 3" past the front bumper. Anything bigger than that and it will pull the car down significantly at 100+ MPH. Which will mean brace (tension rods) tied to the chassis or you will rip the whole thing off and run it over.
If you are doing a bunch over 100 MPH GET A FRIGGIN WING. |

No, my entrance to turn one will be right at 100 and on the back straight I can't imagine being over 120 (my skill level isn't high enough to go faster.) I had planned on using braces and yes, going back about midway between the wheels. But now I'm concerned about not having a big wing (previous posts). Need to get with my track mechanic, someone I trust implicitly). The recommendation from my mech was to go out 5" and test. Easier to cut material off rather than add material to something to short. |
