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?? |

QUOTE(Blake @ Oct 22 2003, 05:23 PM) . The scrub radius is increased, making steering harder, tires wear more, and it will cause more "feedback" from surface irregularities (not always good, btw). I believe it would also change the wheel rate. Basically, it is a hack. Do you have any experience when the tradeoff occurs concerning scrub radius and increased front track? Mike T |
