My hypothesis is that Ford discovered increased performance of the wing if those holes were there, especially in the positions indicated in the patent application. Would they really apply for a patent on a "drain hole"?
There is something else other than passive water management that they applied patent to. Those holes or slots must bleed turbulent air to keep smooth attached airflow on the full width of the wing. After Anderson makes it I'll copy the holes on the end plates.
Could also be master cylinder for clutch on pedal assembly. The soft pedal when the car sits indicates air getting in somewhere. Doesn't have to be a huge leak for the air to make pedal soft. check the line connections everywhere. Also if you have a vacuum bleeder try that and see if pedal...
I hated the MT82D4 gearing so much I swapped it all out for 2017 spec MT82 and associated Exedy clutch etc. That was an adventure, but in the end I am happy again on the Road Courses.
That is just a mass damper its really not needed. You need to source the shorter bolts from the 2011-17 MT-82 crossmember and replace them. Also if you can, return the blowfish bracket (which is a good piece) and step up to a MGW Race Spec, you won't regret it. BTW lock out is still clutch related.
Your lines are very good, getting into power band with lower gear and sticky tires plus suspension mods you mentioned and :38s are there for you. Get those g loadings up!
Sandro, good runs but I would say use third gear at Andretti (turn 2) and at turn 11 coming onto main straight. And get rid of those Nittos. 1:38's are there for you.
