I remember a thread a long time ago. Can some one tell me the benefits of raising the rear of the btoom. Do you think it would have any effect on air flow over engine lid, in a positive way?
Opinions? |

It was in the Vintage Racing: HSR West thread. 1st page. Response by Greg Robbins "Wayne is running a four that he told me puts out 165 hp. Running a SCAT balanced crank, Cam (he wouldn't say which one), euro pistons, and 44mm Webers. I am sure he is running high compression as he runs race fuel. He's not a six, but he sure is fast. I asked him about the airfoils on the back of his targa top. He said they don't do anything and smiled. Said they were on the car when he got it. Then he added there is no way to test if they work or not. Told me the car had run 160+ at Daytona and was very stable. Many find the cars get light on the rear at 130+. HSR does not allow spoilers or wings which is why you don't see them on any of the cars." |
