Interesting. The side pod diffuser tunnels that they show as banned early in the video are what I have on my '56 - between the outside of the frame rail and the inside of the side body skirt. I have the rear wing adjusters on a bellcrank assembly with the future possibility of adding an...

...Molds Brake Duct Top wet laid before modifications (scoop for power steering air) Panels behind the grill to complete a pre-radiator diffuser. They were all vacuum bagged. The small wing (in the middle) goes behind the grill center bar and may provide some downforce, but is mainly to...

...Currently on the road and at the track for a test day on the SR. Raking the nose down (with a flat floor/underbelly) makes for a long diffuser. Also it effectively puts the entire car (consider the general shape like an airfoil) at a negative angle of attack. Then it will generate less...

Are you running a rear sway bar?

...am now sure I can stay under 2800#, and I am shooting for 2600#, but it will take a lot to get there. The exhaust is rear exit - above the diffuser. It runs from the header merge collectors to an X-pipe just behind the rear transmission mount, then through the mufflers and up and over the...

I'll second what Pappy said. And as I often do, add a few comments; Splitter with Diffuser - these are awesome. By do that (as pappy described) you can effectively double the effectiveness of the splitter. So you can cut it back some - keep inside the "design box" constraints and garner heaps...

Yes. Think Chaparral-Sucker car. Lower pressure under body creates downforce. A diffuser does generate downforce, generally aft of the rear wheels. The undesired-unintended consequence is stiffer springs to counteract the"lifting" of the front end due to a "fulcrum-like effect. The...

...This will act as side skirts keeping flow out from underneath. Lower is always better for side skirts. Creative use of black paint could disguise how low they are. Also, the spare tire area is a mess, a diffuser would be too obvious for your goal, at least a smooth under belly would help.

Looks like he followed the lead of Danny Popp and Brian Hobaugh with their C-3/C-2 autocross cars from a few years back - Van Steel, JRI shocks, tubular control arms, hugh spoiler, and fat tires. Both of those guys moved on to a C5 platform in recent years to compete in the Optima Ultimate...

...get the idea of using the side "pod" to aero advantage. If a "box" like on the purple car - fill and shape the interior like a tunnel/diffuser. Or build it lower in front so it has a natural rake. Remember to add the side skirts inside and out. Again, easy to build and replace -- like...

No. I'm running the '84 Z51 rear spring, so I've got plenty of rear roll stiffness. I've been focusing my efforts at changing the front suspension geometry to improve the front grip.

Looks great, I be interested to know the weight distribution now.

...me more than any actual aero improvement was helping. I've also looked into doing something at the rear, but so far I can't justify the weight of a diffuser. My current direction is to reduce the slight understeer I have, and ignore the rear until it becomes the limiting factor during cornering.

Aston Martin has gone all in on big diffusers ( hold our beer ...). I like the rear tires exposed from the back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mh9Rl7Gips Phantomjock, there are the high exhaust outlets you mentioned earlier.

Here are a couple of shots of the exit air louvers in the diffuser that I mentioned in an earlier post. The larger openings are where the exhaust exits.
