Streamlining the Camaro front end for straight line racing. Tips please! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am preparing for a standing mile race in March.
I have had a couple of ideas about what to tape up on the front end of the Camaro to "streamline".
anyone have any tips to maximize slipstream in the front or sides?

I was told to tape the fog light buckets, lower dam area, basically any area that might dam up air, with either painters tape or industrial saran wrap.
also to remove the engine cover and the rubber weatherstripping under the hood for cooling and to allow more air under there.

i want the Hex Vents,but i wont have time to install them anytime soon.

Anyone have any tips to help me out to keep cool and improve aeridynamics on a temp basis or permanent, your comments are welcomed!!!!

Thanks.
Dave

Look up SSE 4 2SS and send him a PM. He has run the standing mile before and will be running again this year.

There are headlamp clear covers around that you can get. They just flush in the area of the lights themselves but, it should help some.

Unbolt the wipers (easy) and tape all hood seams
