I was talking with Darrell off line here a bit ago and a thought came to my
mind.....

I am dead set against running a wing on my car if I can get away with it...
(based on stability at speed)

anykind of aerodynamic tool which Produces downforce also produces drag...
and to move drag takes HP... 

I heard a comment here a couple of weeks ago about us having more HP then
the traction allows... is this the case out there for most of you?
