Default What wing setting for NCM? APR GTC300 on C5z

I bought this car with the wing on it, already. What hole should the front be set at? I have it all the way up, per my buddy Jerry Onks. But it looks like it'll create more lift than df. I'll be at NCM several times this summer, if it matters.

I would start with Jerry's recommendation. We can always adjust at the track to give you more bite or speed.

If you place a level parallel with the end plates you will be able to set at zero. Due to the design of this wing, I believe that still delivers a twelve degree angle of attack ( observe the outer portions of the wing or place a protractor on them.

I have also used a piece of square aluminum stock and set it down the middle of the wing, then used an angle finger to determine where the initial plane is.

I also have a GTC-300 on my Z06. Read this and all your questions will be answered;

Generally, somewhere between level and ten degrees is where you should be, although it all depends on your car set up

You should be measuring on a flat placed in the middle of the wing (last sentence of definitions on GTC-300 page).
