Default Wing and Splitter Chin

Has anyone used any of these items on road race course as summit point or VIR, looking to add wing and splitter to car this year. Car gets light in the front on straight aways.

Look for a different splitter. you need to convert your car to a front breather, that is still a bottom breather, and if the air pushes your car down. not much breathing

Thanks for the suggestion but making this a front breather is not an option. I called APR today and talked to the tech on the issue of the Z06 and over heating. He informed me that this specific splitter for the C5 has the cut out for the radiator to breath and as of date has not had any calls from owners complaining of over heating.

He did say that I will have to add some additional support though.

I will have to let everyone know what happens.
