They definetly help stability on the fast cars, aren't necessary on alot of slower cars.

IHRA says that for T/D faster than 190 MPH requires one of 360 SQ" or larger, mandatory.

Re: wing or no wing
Seems if it ran fine without a wing, you shouldn't need one. Is the car unstable at the top end?

Re: wing or no wing
200mph is about a 6.70... give or take.
Id suggest since you have to have an "Advanced ET" tag,,
And that is good to 6.50 ( i think)
That anything faster then a 7.50 should think about having one.

Advanced ET is 6.0
If you are going to put a wing on, get a currant rule book and do it right.

Re: wing or no wing
Are you going to run divisional or national events? If not, the wing wont be necessary unless you really step up. Then money is no longer an issue anyway.

Re: wing or no wing
It couldn't hurt to have a wing, it seems like you're right on the verge of needing one anyway.
