What did your car dyno before the mods? After? What do you have to control AFR? If you forgot - good. If you don't have anything - you need it to maximize those mods.

Most direct comparison would probably be just a drag race or auto-x, but I am certainly open to getting a couple transponders and doing it on track.

Track/auto-x I'll be on R/A6's or 710's next year just as an FYI.
You guys can borrow my datalogging equipment and/or my hot lapper (timer). Each of you can log your laps even if you're in different run groups. All the data will be stored, and he who has the best lap is the fastest. I wish I could play! Some groups have transponders for rent for $20 a day as well, and all the lap times are cataloged, like here: http://www.speedventures.com/results/Default.aspx

I think to REALLY prove which setup is best it would have to be the SAME driver in both cars (someone who is not involved in the bet). I think the STIG is unemployed. Could ask him if hes not busy?

Nope, how would that work? drivers who drive the cars can be biased towards stretched or not stretched so that would defeat the purpose of the challenge. Just let the individual driver drive his setup, afterall they would best run what they have.

Personally, for example if I was the guest driver, I would drive the wheels off of both vehicles to get a true comparison. Anyone "in the know" would be able to recognize if someone was biased towards one car and was sand bagging.

I don't know squat about litoflow's driving ability, but I'd bet 100:1 that he doesn't have the experience that Mike (03threefiftyz) has, and would be at a clear disadvantage.

Mike, Lito - want me to drive both cars?

Exactly. An unbiased, good driver is needed.

Get something made in Japan like FIC spacers...http://www.more-japan.com/fic-wheel-spacers/ quality means cash. (not just charging a random dollar amount for something that has questionable quality.) but yeah, achieving true flushness shouldn't require a spacer.

I agree with you for the most part. I was looking through this whole thread and couldn't believe that only 2 people noticed or mentioned that they realized that Weapon-R makes these spacers.....REALLLY Fatlace??? You couldn't do any better than Weapon-R?


Anywho, I am down to come watch Mike and LitoFlow race. I say we make it the next east coast Hellaflush 7.314 meet.

Oh btw, I'm not taking sides here or anything, because I am merely an enthusiast, but thought everyone who hasn't seen this might like to check it out:

So this thread went from Hella flush spacers, fast and the furious, a call out, a Spanish conversation... this thread has it all!!!

By the way i do think that spacer does defeat the purpose of hella flush, illest ect, ect. Hella flush is supposed to be crazy offsets with out the help of spacers i think a lot of people who are in to the flush look would agree. I do a admire the look specially after seeing the slammed black z on Work wheels ^^^

Whatever, Lito obviously is slightly confused... Sure the Turbonetics setup is a POS, but I call BS on him winning a Single Turbo G35... Either the G35 driver doesn't know how to drive his car AT ALL, or he wasn't trying... or Lito is just bullsh!ting to look cool. The reason why I call you a high school idiot, is because of your 1st post in this thread, about you and your friends fat tires and turbonetics G35... then challenging a bunch of people on the interwebs for a race?? I don't know, that seems pretty high school like to me.
