Randy- I see from your sig that you run ITE with your Camaro. I'm just curious what all you've done to it. I don't see many fbods roadracing out here with NASA. There are of course more running with SCCA, but I've mostly been to NASA events so I don't get to see much of them. Its interesting to see what others are doing.

One thing in particular I'm wondering about is your front air dam, which I can see in your avatar. When I get done with everything else, I was going to look at building either a removable splitter or an air dam for the nose.

IMHO a splitter on the nose of an Fbody is worthless. the frontal area of the car is to flat to really see the benefits of one. If it does work, IMO it wouldnt be worth the time to put one on. And really wouldnt shine until you got WAY up into the MPH's. the big thing you need to worry about is the air that is passing under the car while you are at speed. Less=more. and with the addition of a good solid airdam that goes to the ground this will really minimizethe air going under the car but does require re routing the air flow to the radiator. the big air dam will also increase the amount of downforce on the nose at high speed making it more stable.

there are a number of things you can do to an Fbody to increase how "slick" the car is. But unless you are seeing some serious speeds at the track I don't think it would be worth it. Especially if the car is also a street car. But if you don't mind constantly taking off/putting on parts it mightbe worth looking into.
