That was kind of my thinking. I'm considering adding a surge tank, but need to look and see what WRL will allow. I'm not going to race for a championship, but I'd like to do 2 WRL races a year.

APR. It's pretty flat. A 4" splitter just isn't going to do much at relatively low speeds. And it's certainly going to less than the wing at AoA as speeds increase.
