BW with Nasa in October. And likely Willow Springs with Speed Ventures in November

How is the Zl1addons one installed (since they don't post any instructions, just say rivet nut gun is required) ?

I had 350anderson (partial) replica and ZL1 addons on my pp1.
Few notes
The 350R wing ,according to ford perfomance generates 125lbs at 120mph.
300lbs is really too much (i mean maybe at 150mph)

The zl1 addons with chassis mounting was a nice piece. Before mounting on the chassis i saw big deformations on the oem pp1 splitter ,sign of "downforce" pushing down.

However
A splitter over 4' height is not really effective.
Pp2 splitter generates around 20lbs more than pp1.

Gpod Aero to work needs to be over 100mph to feel the effect...
Last info
Remember the hood vent you have in the car does generates DF. i think 20-30lbs if i remember well. So put that also in the equation.

I'd be surprised if the 350R wing made 125# at any speed once mounted to a car. It looks like expensive ballast. My guess is the earlier 350 Track Pack spoiler(w/ gurney) or the present 500 Track Pack wing are both more effective, but I have no info to base that opinion.

The front is what it is. Of course it will be more effective as the car is lowered. Having said that, there are better and worse arrangements and more splitter is rarely a bad option unless you're having trouble keeping it off the ground.

Yes. However i then upgraded to bolts and nuts cause it was more stable. Also i did 2 extra holes on the side to attached it to the main bumper vs. The oem balck splitter

Ps i have the Zl1 addons still at home.

I understand that we have different cars, but i have the ZL1 and 350R from AC and was wondering if you felt that it caused a negative effect from stock (if you could tell)

I didn't. Willow springs turn 8 at 136mph was a good try.


Be sure that the splitter points down.
You need around 2deg.
Otherwise
If the splitter does have a positive AoA then you will generate extra lift and you will feel car understeering at higher speed.

You say it didn't have a negative effect. Did it have a positive one or was it not noticeable? It does not surprise me that the splitter wants a bit of angle in it. You do this with your support rods?

You do feel it at 120mph +
Not before
Bigger wings/splitter will work before around 80-100.
Yes i angle down with rods
