In talking with Aeroflow, they thought I would for sure want a solid lip extending down to the splitter . . . otherwise, there will be a lot of buffeting from side wind gusts and traffic. I'm just going to wait until I get the ole girl down on the new suspension so I can decide if the lip needs like 2" or 3" depending on the final stance? Thoughts?
Hmm, not sure on that level of detail. I’ve driven full splitter and big spoiler on the oval asphalt. Will have to learn if anything fun happens with this car.
Something wicked this way comes...

Of course, I have to actually get it back together first but I can already see you guys are going to force me into headers and an EFI unit for my big block. Used to be 425HP, 550 lb.ft. was impressively powerful street rod. Now you have to have 550HP just to keep up.
Seriously, I'm anxious to see how the ole green girl performs with that much power? A number of folks on the Optima series are actually detuning to make their cars perform better. Of course, they were like twin-turbo 1000 HP nonsense. Losing the extra front weight, turbo lag, too much torque causing unpredictable squirreliness [I invented a word . . .].

I actually totally understand your new word.
The car is very stable and is also getting 315's square this season so we should be a-ok. 🙂

I'd hate to see the "old" engine go to waste so I'd be happy to recycle it for you.....🙂
