Very Cool!
What type of actuator are you using? what's the compressive strength like? With it rear pivoted at least if the actuator fails it will resort to high downforce position which I think is a good safety feature.

The actuator is plenty strong the weak point is the push-pull cables. They are rated at 80lbf eaoughTough fea shows the majority of the force going through the rear of the mount which makes sense. I'm going to test it in a budget 85mph wind tunnel but obviously the forces will be a lot higher on the track at 160+ obviously I'll be pretty careful the first time out

Nice! Pictures of the whole car? I think I remember reading on here that you ran some fast times at CMP I want to say, but I could be wrong. I have read little things here and there about your build, But I have never seen the whole thing. You should start a build thread.
