Default APR Performance Track Pack Front Air Dam

I added a rear wing to my car and need more down force on the front.
I'm looking at the APR Performance Track Pack Front Air Dam FA-207028
http://shop.aprperformance.com/index...product_id=464

Does anyone have any feedback on this, wondering if this adds any measurable down force at the track.

Thanks

I would assume so, due to the increase in size (sticks out more than the OEM splitter). However, I don't think (guessing here) that it would balance the amount of downforce your rear wing is capable of producing (wing would need to be run at an angle of attack appropriate to match front splitter).

Probably should as this question in the Autocrossing & Roadracing section, lots of members there that are very knowledgeable on running wings and such.

Have Louis or Anthony from LG cut out a dry piece of carbon and mount it to
The stock splitter.

Duh

I just saw a vendor that had a secondary splitter similar to ACR. Added what looked to be another 3-5" out front.

We will be making a tunneled carbon splitter for the car once all of the cooling system items are finished.

👍 ( have a goal to drive the car @ the classic tracks MOSCC, and MLSR.)

That will require a trailer.

What type of issue would an extended front splitter cause during loading?

I realize it's a noob question but on the other hand, don't know that many people who trailer in.....

The lower and further out it sticks the more that will kill the approach angle.

So say stock you can get the car on a ramp at a 25 degree angle, if you lower the nose (either by lowering the car or adding a splitter) it will decrease this angle. Same goes for extending the nose by adding a longer splitter.

You can bring boards with you, a lower trailer, or do something like a two piece race ramp set that you can tuck away in the car or tow rig.
