wicker bill for GT350 track pack

Can't believe I missed this. GREAT job!
I have done back to back testing at the track adding and removing those wicker bills on Z28s & Z06 and the difference is HUGE. I think the skeptics really need to chill out because while it's a pretty simple and easy device to add to a spoiler, it will no doubt make a big increase in downforce. Your attachment method looks similar to Z28/Z06 which is sufficiently strong and there is sound engineering behind it.
While it would be nice to have the downforce numbers, GM and Ford don't provide those #s at various speeds so it's asking a lot of a company like yours to invest thousands of dollars to take a car to a wind tunnel like A2 in NC to get real figures.
If you don't track your car, you don't need this. If you do, it could make a GT350TP understeer quite a bit more at speed and may require some setup changes to fully take advantage of it on track, however I'd put $ on it making a 350TP faster and more comfortable to drive even in stock form.
Well done.

I did. I got it for track use its hard to say its impact since I installed it and the FP springs at the same time. Car felt good over the past weekend, though.
On my install you can see a slight stretch in the plastic from the top. not a huge deal but worth mentioning. I am not sure how much variance there is in the track spoiler. I like the look but its not hugely noticeable.

Did you install the R splitter too? I just got the wickerbill in the mail but am thinking of doing the splitter at the same time.

No I am about 1 inch lower then stock so I think I should be ok? Oddly comparing my corner speeds to pre-wicker and springs I was faster but my lap times are down now. probably just anecdotal (it was also hotter this time)
Im out of money I just got a 4 point and a hans so the R splitter is next season.

Interesting, I'm really concerned about inducing understeer on this car.
Yeah I've been thinking about getting one for over a year now. Seems that they've gone down to around 1100ish.
Hard to justify something that will be getting torn apart.

Yup same here, that's good to know. Do you have sway bars as well? I have the BMR ones front and rear. Front is on the middle and rear is on soft.

Biggest thing for me was body roll. I noticed this car had a lot more than I was use to.

Gotcha after my Harnesses come I might notice it more.
Random based on tire temp I might be running slightly too much camber. Not enough to get another alignment but the insides where about 15-20 degrees hotter then the outside.

How about your wear?
Even with 2.75 Camber front and 2.5 rear I'm getting more outer wear than inner wear with my Re71rs

I need to check when I go back to my street setup. I think I need a balance so ill probably get them remounted if I do that.
