Keith knows this Gary Eakers (sp) guy ... he has been to Maxton.

The Eakers/Steggemeyer Pontiac Firebird with the Lingenfelter engine did
wind tunnel tests too.  Ran 296 on gas , 350 ci engine, with the 160 lbs of
nitrous cooling the twin intercoolers.  That was in the late eighties.

Eakers worked in the GM wind tunnel and did his own tests.
The factory aerodynamic add-ons were so closely attached to the body that
they made the stock ones look like sieves by comparison.
