I thought I read someplace where someone was claiming that by increasing the track via wider wheels and tires a few inches(or even spacers) it was equivialant to a 100hp increase in power on large track
I know that is just way too much of a general statement, but could it be based on facts?? |

As noted, high speed seems better. I don't do much low speed driving with it, especially with the Goodyear slicks but it seems a little harder to turn such as getting into pre-grid or something like that. It would be expected since one side of the steering lever just got a lot longer when the spacers are added.
