Title: Rear Wing
Post by: 460Dave on September 25, 2013, 10:43:30 AM
I am looking for anyone that has experience with using a rear wing on a drag car.

I have am 85 T-bird drag car.  Is there any advantage to running a rear wing?  They are really popular on the Fox Mustangs.  If so, what styles work / don't work?

I'd say it depends on how fast the car is.

If you're running 10's, skip it. If your down nosing at 8's it will probably be helpful.

low 9's, maybe high 8's.  I tapped the 9's with my old motor and I am now putting a "different" one in and expect it to be a bit faster.  My top mph was 135 with the old, but again, I expect to be faster.  I was looking for someone that might have compared a before and after with a wing.  Maybe someone that can tell me if one design works better than another. (or doesn't work at all).
