got a little carried away today and it got a little exciting at 90 (49 mph officer) down the hayes bypass,seems like front end lift,any ideas about a front wing/aero aid?

I think hellfire had this same effect? I think it may have been cured by changing the set up. They have a BEC though.

How about mounting your front number plate a bit lower so as to reduce the amount of airflow under the car(splitter effect)

have to make a bracket from the chassis and a reinforcement for the no plate and use the plate as a wing i spose

Make sure the rear ride height is ~15mm higher than front, will help with stability at speed.

Conrod, Just curious if you made a ride hieight change and if it made a difference. I hade a fellow in the shop a couple days ago who used to race a caterin van and he talked about front end lift at speed too.
