I am well aware of how it works with the OEs and even more aware of your "relationship" with GM than you think. The difference is that I am just an enthusiast looking for real data that I can use on the track to reduce lap times and have nothing to sell, market or hype.

Back to my question, and I can be more specific. What data do you have to support the choice of location of the ducts besides a money back guarantee? And with that, how does this duct placement effect vehicle dynamics? The concern is anytime you redirect air around or in this case through the front fascia there is a direct correlation to vehicle stability, down force, lift Etc.

This is a similar question I asked the suppliers of the a-la-Z/28 style wing extensions that are selling them for the 10-13 spoiler. What are they doing for the front to offset the added down force in the rear of a car that already has lift at speed. These questions often go unanswered as they are either not considered, not understood or ignored so they can continue making money on claims of performance and reduced lap times.

You have been more than generous and supportive to the Camaro community here over the years, but I prefer to see data over claims of improvement with money back guarantees.
