I was able to get a few decent sponsorship just from running with nasa. I'm lucky to be able to run with two different nasa region because of where i live (northeast and mid-atlantic).

Looks like Voltex just made the Type 11 rear wing available to the public (essentially the one that's on the Tilton car). Still no data that I can find though... and WOW that price.

saw a few of you asking about how to mount up your splitters etc so thought id share a few photos of mine and how they are mounted.
Sorry about the poor quality photos, lighting in my garage isnt ideal for photographs.
back view of mounting blocks
side view of mountings
underside of undertray at front. countersunk screws into anchor nuts attaching to the front lip and brackets at the rear holding splitter on. also two large turnbuckles attach directly to the bumper subframe which u can see in the first pic
left hand side wheel arch looking forward
left hand arch looking up
right hand arch mountings

its two fold:
its more of a "trim" device if you know about airplanes. it will add front downforce but only slightly. but between the small effect and fact that the bumper will just flex/sag etc, its really nothing significant on a road going car. (low speed flow where they are located and close to body so you start fighting the boundary layer)
they do create vortices which can begin to effect/help the rear wing. can also help create a flow that will turbulent air from leaking to the underbody and effecting other things.

Guess i just took it for granted that it would act like a front splitter does. but when u really think about it the surface area isnt enough to really give any sort of force load so it does make sense that they are almost a channel to guide air to the rear wing.
What id really love to figure out is what size and angle etc equates to what.
Eg is there a certain angle that they should point relative to the size of your wing ect.
