    I'm looking for some input on wing angles for my car.

    125" wb altered,TAFC chassis,215-220mph

    single element front wing:
    46" wide x 5.5" deep - from front to back it tapers up 1 1/2"

    dual element rear wing:
    main wing - 44" wide x 7 3/8" deep - from front to back tapers up 1/2"
    top wing - 44" wide x 5.5" deep - from front to back tapers up 1 1/2"

    Wing angles I was thinking of starting with:
    front 2-5 degrees
    main rear 0-2 degrees
    top rear 2-5 degrees

    Good starting point? Any of you guys know the downforce calculations?

    Mac....
    take the spill plate off one side and take a pic and post it on here.....we need a better take on the wing profile. but, from what you have stated, i would start with 0 deg.

    Like Darren posted, post a side view of the rear wings without the spill plates, and I sure hope you're not running alky, I think a dual element would be too much.

    If you took the second element off, it may run 235 Don

    I will get you guys some pictures of the wing profiles. I've ran the rear wing on the car for the last 6 years but just put the front wing on. I ran the main rear wing at 0 and the upper at 2 and it seemed to work well. It's just a blown alcohol setup not fuel
