Since TT3 bump weight/power from 9:1 to 10:1 ths year and I can't detune my car any lower than 320 whp (mustang) on e85, I have to add 120 lbs of ballast to my car. I was able to get some lead bars that are 65 lbs each. And cut the end tabs off to fit the rear floor perfectly.

finally got the dive plane on and did some testing last weekend at Pocono. Hitting top speed close to 150 mph and they didn't rip off, so that's good. i'll be going to VIR next weekend for Hyperfest and will compare data from last year to see how my corner speed are. but i also added 200 lbs of blast to the back, so that will also change the car's balance for cornering.

i used used 1/16th sheet to keep the weight down. they came out to around 22 oz each. only did single plane for now. might add another plane on the bottom, that's why i left room at the bottom. my buddy Jason Schmuck welded them. he said to use 1/8th sheet next time, much more easy to weld. they dont flex much at all.
