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  |

Let me put it this way...I broke by first splitter early one weekend at Road Atlanta. I then went on to set the fastest lap and speed I have ever done in a 914. I went 164.3 mph around T9 with no splitter - you do not need one. BTW: I run a 3.5" splitter reveal and have a massive rear wing - if you do try to add a splitter the 5" you are thinking is way too big.
Tony I would add more negative toe in the rear - try .100" per side and O-toe in the front. You also have to add more - camber... I run 2.35 in the front & 2.40 in the rear. |

I think given that my fronts are maxed out going to -2.40 in the rear wouldn't work. And I suspect for the same reason -.100" toe in the rear and zero in the front wouldn't work. Your numbers hinge on using camber plates so my fronts can get more negative camber, right? Front (best that could be achieved w/o camber plates) L negative.94 Toe 1/16 R negative .65 Toe 1/16 What's your corner weights? Mebbe I can remedy the problem with added front weight until I get camber plates? As an aside, the numbers you're recommending are for an iron v-8, right? 2360 is my total weight. |
