I have noticed that most Evo drag cars do not have the OEM rear wing. Have there been any tests to determine whether the OEM rear wing hinders 1/4 mile times? It seems to me the downforce would help, and it doesn't weigh that much at all (in other words, the benefits of the added downforce should out-weigh the weight of the wing).

I have never tested the wing theory but at the speeds these cars trap being AWD there isnt much traction issues when your in 4th gear on top of the track..

Now of course when you get up to the 160-170+ trap speed I am sure the wing helps but most full drag cars have an aftermarket aluminum spolier which is light and functional..

Thanks for the input Mike! So, the OEM wing probably doesn't hinder track times and whether somebody drag races with it on comes down to personal preference (i.e., some people may think the Evo looks much better with the OEM wing on then off)?

New Manifold of course, Side Exit Exhaust, some other fabrication parts. The Car goes down the track so well at this point Brian wants to see how it will handle the added power. The Chassis has worked so well, it's hard to change parts that we are working so well together.
