we will try to balance downforce with drag. at track I run at like Daytona where the speeds will be 180+ we will flatten it out some and for others will give it more, but I doubt any more than 4 degrees.

thanks

Glad Bob did the GT2 front conversion the right way.

It will be interesting to see changes in lap times with the new setup.
Jean, thanks for all your help, support, and coaching, following all that you suggested!!!

Oak, check out that Getty site, lots of choices, high quality and VERY almost suprisingly reasonable prices.

yes they do!!

Your car looks great Tom. Pretty much a race car with license plates at this point. Very nice.

Vortex is a great shop and an excellent alternative to the local dealers in Tampa and St. Pete. Bob has a ton of experience with Porsche. He did my suspension install/corner balancing way back when. It's always entertaining to just stop by and look around and see what they're working on. They had a 900hp turbo M3 (E36) in the back the other day.

The "yellow section" (gratuitous pic of my car in there )

sweet!! would you mind providing me a link to the hood products? It looks like getty design is a reseller/dropshipper for other companies such as MA shaw. I clicked on all the links, but didnt find any info on the CF hoods.
Thanks tom!

Just went to the Getty Design Website and viewed their PDF catalog... 996 related stuff is in the back, so scroll down to about Page 40 to start looking...

BIG mistake...

LOTS of eye candy...

looks sweet Tom! I think yours is one of the few that is more than just "cosmetic"

Tom/Bob do you guys have a list of the parts needed for the proper GT2 front conversion, i'm looking to do this in the next couple months and havent been able to find a comprehensive list anywhere
