Aerodynamics
The invisible force that keeps you planted at speed.
Why Aero Matters
Above 60 mph, aerodynamic forces begin to dominate vehicle behavior. Proper aero development can improve lap times more than adding horsepower — and it does so without stressing the engine or drivetrain. The key is balancing downforce (grip) with drag (top speed) for your specific track and application.
Front Splitters
The front splitter creates a high-pressure zone on top and low-pressure zone underneath, effectively "sucking" the front of the car down. Proper rake angle and end plate design are critical. Our splitters are designed with CFD analysis and validated in wind tunnel testing.
Rear Wings
A rear wing generates downforce by creating a pressure differential between its upper and lower surfaces. Key factors include airfoil profile, angle of attack, aspect ratio, and end plate design. The wing must work in concert with the rest of the aero package.
Diffusers
The underbody diffuser is often the most efficient downforce generator on a race car. By expanding the air volume under the car, it creates a low-pressure zone that pulls the car to the ground. Combined with a flat floor, diffusers can generate massive grip gains.
Aero Balance
The front-to-rear aerodynamic balance determines how the car behaves at speed. Too much front aero = understeer. Too much rear aero = oversteer. Finding the right balance for your car, track, and driving style is key to maximizing performance.
Cooling
Keep your engine and brakes in the optimal temperature window.
Engine Cooling
Track conditions push cooling systems to their limits. Sustained high RPMs, heavy loads, and ambient heat can cause overheating that destroys engines. Upgraded radiators, oil coolers, and proper ducting are essential for any track car.
Radiator Upgrades
Stock radiators are designed for street driving, not sustained track abuse. Aluminum racing radiators with increased core thickness and better fin design can drop coolant temps by 20-40°F. Proper radiator ducting prevents air from going around the core.
Oil Coolers
Oil temperature is just as critical as coolant temperature. When oil gets too hot, it breaks down and loses its protective properties. A thermostatically controlled oil cooler keeps temps in the optimal 200-230°F range for maximum protection and power.
Brake Cooling
Brake fade is one of the most dangerous track conditions. Ducting cool air to the brake rotors and calipers can extend braking performance dramatically. We offer brake cooling kits designed for specific vehicle applications.
Intercooler Efficiency
For turbocharged applications, intercooler efficiency directly impacts power. Hot charge air means less dense air, less fuel, and less power. Upgraded intercoolers with better heat exchangers can recover 10-20 HP lost to heat soak.
Suspension
Where the rubber meets the road — literally.
The Foundation of Performance
Suspension is the single most important system on a track car. It controls tire contact patch, weight transfer, and vehicle dynamics. A well-set-up car on modest power will beat a poorly set-up car with twice the horsepower every time.
Coilovers
Quality coilovers provide adjustable ride height, spring rate, and damping. This allows you to tune the suspension for different tracks and conditions. Our track-focused coilovers use linear rate springs and high-quality monotube dampers.
Alignment & Geometry
Proper alignment is the foundation of a good handling car. Camber, caster, and toe settings affect turn-in response, cornering grip, and straight-line stability. Track alignments are significantly different from street settings.
Bushings & Bearings
Rubber bushings deflect under load, causing unpredictable handling. Polyurethane or spherical bearing replacements provide precise, repeatable behavior. The trade-off is increased NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) on the street.
Anti-Roll Bars
Sway bars control body roll and affect the front-to-rear grip balance. Adjustable bars let you fine-tune understeer/oversteer balance without changing spring rates. This is one of the most cost-effective suspension upgrades.
Transmission
Getting power to the ground efficiently and reliably.
The Power Link
The transmission is the critical link between engine and wheels. At high power levels and track abuse, stock transmissions are often the weak point. Upgrades range from clutch and flywheel to full gear set replacements and limited-slip differentials.
Clutch & Flywheel
Track use demands clutches that can handle repeated high-RPM launches and aggressive shifts. Lightweight flywheels improve throttle response and acceleration. We offer stage-appropriate clutch kits for various power levels.
Short Shift Kits
Reducing shift throw speeds up gear changes and reduces the chance of missed shifts. Combined with upgraded shift bushings, a short shift kit can transform the feel of the gearbox.
Limited-Slip Differentials
An LSD is essential for putting power down out of corners. Open differentials send power to the wheel with least grip — the opposite of what you want. Helical, plate-type, and clutch-type LSDs each have different characteristics.
Gear Ratios
Optimizing gear ratios for your track keeps the engine in its power band. Shorter gears improve acceleration but may sacrifice top speed. Longer gears do the opposite. The right choice depends on your track layout and power curve.
