I also here it's good for a few mph in the 1/4. So lets see them and what is it off of? I was told the 69 Camaro SS unit works pretty well.

I started with a black 1/4"x8"x68" piece of ABS. The center is now necked down to approx 6", it will be at approx 25Deg angle, and curve a couple of inches at ea end. I'll take a pic tommorrow of the unfinished install. Theq 62 has 2 rather nicely place removeable plates somewhat behind the bumper, but the air dam will I believe redirect a decent amount of air by these, and I will be installing brake ducts, because I want to, I plan on driving it hard, and if air dam works well, it restricts the normal air to to the wheels. On mine, I also almost blocked off intentionally the entire grill with very fine SS screen, and I need the dam to redirect air into the radiator. Anyway, anything in this application can hardly hurt regarding High speed front end lift/lightness, drag is another matter, but I feel warm and fuzzy all the sudden Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

There was a area where the rock shield had a flat area. I had to put a small notch in it to clear a support. About that time they determined that one of those spoilers would slow a Duster down in the 1/4! "The only thing to do for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" "NUNQUAM NON PARATUS!"

While MAS is out of business, it would not be a stretch to adapt either of those with a few mods. As far as e.t. reductions, I have no first hand experience with a chin spoiler. Since it is pushing air around the car instead of allowing it under it, it may have some impact. A deck lid spoiler, on the other hand, will have a definete impact. My 80 Volare drag car added .2 e.t. after adding the tall, factory style deck lid spoiler. Conversely, adding a sealed hood scoop took .2 off my time.

I have it bookmarked on my ebay page for almost 2 years now but I havent bought one yet. I wanted it more for pushing air up towards the radiator, maybe cool my engine bay down a bit as I am driving plus I think they look killer on the front...Wonder why it was never a factory option Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s
