I woulda thought that toe in would help the push.

Just wanted to see if you can fill the gaps on how the car is doing with the new setup/wing/other changes. Good luck to you and Nocones!

Here's a good tech article to keep in your folder...

As far as my car, it's still a PIG and I'm running a few seconds off the pace in my class... Something happened to re-initiate the T/C during my last event and my car bogged down again through nearly every turn, which could account for probably 5 seconds per lap... The wing has slowed my straightaway speeds by 3-5 mph and is lifting the front end at high speed (135+ mph) See picture below from Cal Speedway at top speed... The wing WAS helping in the turns before the stupid T/C re-engaged itself and cut the power again... I was willing to give-up a few MPH on the straights for better handling in the turns...

That being said, I'm still having fun... And really ANNOYED with the T/C.
