Anyone here have a small Prostock style wing on a 70'???

Just wondering about the handling at 160 or so. I'm not sure I want to add a wing unless it definitely stabilizes the car.

Thanks.

My car has been 162 with NO wing, feels like your driving down the highway at 55

You know the "stock" alignment specs on an A body call for 0 caster..? thats so the steering wheel returns well when you make turns because of the rear steer. Now get the front aligned at a place that will do what you ask, and get the most caster in it that they can. I think mine is 3 or 4* if i can remember. People ask me all the time how my car drives, i tell them great and they always seem to think im crazy, All stock frontend parts, Stock brakes front and rear, and NO wing.....I dont know if its really necessary, so many people just have them nowadays, you have to wonder if its just monkey see monkey do

Well - I'll be the first to admit that I added mine purely for aesthetics to cover up the bicycle rack looking parachute mount. BUT, I did notice that the car was more stable on the big end.

looks like you are going to need some more bars in that car to go in the 7's...

I put the ed quay on mine because I never liked the looks of the back of the 70 darts.
