During the week, the aero kit is removed and it still drives to get groceries. AC, windows and carpets are still there to make it comfortable during the 100*+ days we have here.

Also this car is used for all our exhaust testing. We need to leave it as stock as possible

Massive understeer. This run was the first with this amount of aero and also the CSG/SRC Tien shocks. We need to do some tweaking to eliminate the understeer issues

Any plans for a rear bumper and/or diffuser?

Car makes 160HP at the crank
The diffuser isn't as simple as we thought and AMB has explained that it's a major process. The design is built for a full tunnel underbody so a standard diffuser won't have too much effect.

So since we can't reduce rear lift, we have a massive wing to create huge rear downforce.

Serious top speed sacrifice on the starights

Because if it is the later I would be very impressed to learn if that aero produces actual gain on lap times vs light aero (rear small wing) or no aero at all. Can you post lap times at all, or do you have a reference to compare to before the aero and just say if it was faster or not?
Engine is 100% stock from factory. OEM radiator, OEM air box and no oil cooler. Only engine bolt ons are the Anaconda 42.7, FP and catback.

We've gained almost 2s/lap on the same set of tires and brakes with this aero set-up. With true race tires, it will easily beat our old track record as cornering speed is ridiculous.
