Default Top Down Track ZR- Which wing? FUNCTION ~not form~

I have a stripped, caged ZR. I'm looking for a wing but I'm not certain on what height and angle I should go with to get the best downforce. Obviously I don't have a roofline so it's hard for me to predict where the vacuum and clean air is.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
-Kevin

Talk to Chebosto... he's leader of the "functional" on da track wings mob.

Btw, you have any pics of your gutted R? Not too many out there with full roll cage, id love to see it!

Yeah, I've got some pics of the test fitment. I'll post em up when I get home. The cage is not an 8 pt, it's Brent's 6. I'm turning it into an 8 and adding a dash bar too so it's a work in progress...

Thanks though, I'll definitely hit him up.

What type of track use does your vehicle see and how high of speeds do you get up to? You might get better responses in the motorsports section of this forum, I know a lot of track gurus hang out in that section

I've actually never done any events. Only open track time for fun. I like the idea of competing but I more or less compete against myself or friends and I prefer to keep building my car how it suits me. Aside, I am extremely competitive and overly committed to competition. I've purposely been trying to avoid it such that I can maintain the passion and interest without the contamination of obsession and frustration... So really, even in the future, I do not intend to participate in events.

I'm simply looking for whatever provides the best performance.
