          Charlie I am working on the aero for our race teams Festiva and am wondering if you have any supporting aero on your car or if you would recommend some. I have been working on a rear diffuser and front splitter, we have the stock wing on it but we are going to do either an ebay wing or a stock car type wing with a gurney flap. Do you think that a front splitter will change the characteristics of the car to much and create an abundance of oversteer? We are currently running 165/60/15 Falken 615's for tires and the car was boosted the last race we did at MSR Houston. (Team Braking Bad; Likejif, Coldhand, Gorgonheimer) Thanks for all the good info and keep up the good work.

            • Not sure if b6t can run anti-turbo lag system...
              Could be an answer in helping you out of the corners etc.

                            Sorry for the delay Tom, I've had a lot going on.
                            I have not had a chance to do any aero work on these cars. More rear down force may help a lot. These cars spin pretty easy. It's a tough call though. More aero will also make the car slower on straights and make it a challenge in windy conditions. I know MHR gets some wind.

                            • Ok thanks for the reply Charlie, I guess well get stuff on and do some trial and error runs to see what works and what doesn't. I will try to take pictures and upload them, if I get a chance to, after the aero is put on. Hopefully with the new found power and the aero we can get the car to stick good and not spin to much. I am worried about the splitter giving us to much oversteer but we'll have to see as we go. We'll report back to you on our findings after the race in, sometime in may.
