Message Thanks Jared, I know its not everyone's cup of tea, that's a given, and I'm positive that the purists are turning over in their respective "graves".
However, the "ground effects" can be felt at as little as 30 mph, and really helps the car's ability to hold the road.
I haven't had the opportunity to track test it yet, however driving it on the freeway and the twisties around here give me the confidence that these modification will perform at least as expected, if not better.
An unexpected benfit was a 20% increase in highway mileage, which again, should prove once I get her on the track, higher top end (end of straight) speeds.
There are additional mods I'm planning (suspension and brakes) along with finishing my "OMG" motor...
I'm fairly satisfied with my cylinder head modifications. They baselined at 212 cfm (@ 28" wc) and are now flowing 272 cfm(@ 28" wc), using OEM sized valves. There's more I could do, but it would involve decreasing the reliabilty, so I've been hesitant to undertake those mods...
