    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    ...undertray for my C-1 track car. Bought some rubber strakes for a '23 Corvette Z06/Z07 and cut them up to help guide air to a couple of the diffuser tunnels. The front tunnels empty outside of barge boards that guide the air toward the outboard side pod diffuser tunnels. The front splitter...

    ...extends back to and flush with the bottom of the engine which is set well back, and there are barge boards that direct the airflow from the diffuser tunnels into the side pod diffusers between the frame rails and the side skirts. A front radiator diffuser duct is formed by the CF panels at...

    My guess - lowered the chassis and kept full range of suspension movement? Looks like a "mini" spoiler? NO Wing? Maybe saw a Diffuser in the last frame or 2. Belly pan? Full qualified cage? Not quite a GS - Could be much- much fun. Cheers - Jim

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Now that we are on the subject, here is an experiment I intend to conduct. I have already built diffuser tunnels between the frame and rocker panels/side skirts. Air is fed to them via the front fender splash panel behind the tire and barge boards along the frame. I built CF plugs for my...

    Duntov has a new page, and lots of interesting photos. Link below. This diffuser looks pretty functional, nice gradual transition. Link https://duntovclassics.com/duntov-racing/

    He put some thought into this. Not sure about the thick center, but the diffusers on the ends are known to work.

    I'm definitely interested in your results. (y)

    Gorgeous workmanship. I'd be tempted - but hate cut a diffuser into that CF airdam - but it might be useful... The appears to be a lot of real estate available. (I'll admit - I just watched - didn't listen to the audio) Could have missed a clue there. Cheers - Jim

    The exhausts exit inside of a channel (that is part of the diffuser?). Would they have been better off exiting the exhaust away from the body work, Like extending the exits?

    ...the bar that act as canards as they go up into 4" brake cooling ducts on either side of the radiator. Finished the front undertray with 4 diffuser tunnels and provisions for any splitter extension made for a Viper ACR to be bolted to the leading edge of the undertray. Working the side...

    aero is for people who can't build engines. :) actually, I still need to do a diffuser - but next major mod will be a larger motor.

    You've been working the splitter. Thoughts on a diffuser? I do like the rear "murdered" look on the bumper-ettes. Nice touch. Plate and tail lights could use some tone down - if it passes Tech. Cheers - Jim

    ...Idaho - so it goes with all its parts. the list of to do: put the 3.42 diff in, swap valve springs, finish the light change, figure out the diffuser for high speed in October.... what I do I need to do before spring autox? none of it - so it gets to sit while I get more pressing things done...

    my thought is I need a 3d printer.... the way I built that - the ends are removable/replaceable so I can experiment as I go along

    Yeah, I think if you look at pg 25 it shows a splitter diffuser. #488 & #495. I think there were a bunch of other posts, you would just have to work backwards to find them. The same principle as a rear diffuser.

    I'm a bit interested in this because this is on the splitter, not the diffuser.

    These front splitter "diffusers" do not make downforce at the discharge end, they actually create a low pressure area at the point where the floor of the diffuser starts to diverge from the ground. It works the same as diffusers at the rear of the car. If you create back pressure at the...

    Well explained Pappy. That is why the diffuser "mod" on the splitter "effectively" lengthens the spltter. The lower pressure is moved forward and increases the downforce lever. Cheers - Jim
