Anyone dynod spacers before. Not really looking for random opinions as I know that you get more torque with a smaller spacer but has anyone tested or played around with spacer styles or heights and seen gains one way or the other.  The 3 main styles seem to be open, 4 holes, or tapered holes.  By the looks of it it would seem that a tapered hole might flow more but how much, i'm not sure.  I'm looking for someone with real dyno experience on spacers.

We need more tech in LMR.

They make some pretty wild claims on the tapered stuff.  Seems like it would be somewhere in between?  I gotta get my air cleaner out of the oven.
lol

They don't come much prettier than this.

That attitude is the difference between a 16.2 lap and a 16.5 at sms.

This board lacks compared to 4m.net when it comes to tech. Frankly, I'm sick of heading over there for tech. It needs more real tech topics that racers can use.

btw, you need to worry more about getting your car done rather than policing my posts so I can woop dat azz at SMS.

Lol. Im with joey. If you think a spacer is going to make a difference between winning and losing you're crazy.

more in the shop + less time on here = faster car. I forgot more then you ever learned..........

Why I'm going to explain this is beyond me but here we go.  My aircleaner hitting my distributer which is sending an arc into the base.  I also run my body up higher than everyone which sucks a lot heat into the carb.  So, the obvious solution is buying a 2 inch carb adapter.  Since I had to get one, I thought I'd post up a tech thread on spacers. Then you and your sister show up and drop useless information. lol  

I'll take Daves information and drop a super sucker style on it. What ever Sparky chooses I'm doing the opposite as I'm not into losing 2/10ths.  lol

Waste of key strokes.

This is a good read, I always liked wilson the best

Brady Bell's old car that ended up as my backup car when I raced for Pedro, had a bad ass cold air box on it. The whole air cleaner was under the hood but it was enclosed with a vent out the back of the hood.

All this high dollar spacer talk from the guy that thinks an increase at the back gate is the end of the world. Hey Billy, practice is priceless.  Should we change this thread to how over priced spacers have become?   LMFAO     Chad

show up

One thing about the WCSS is the front runners are getting everything out of those cars.  You show up to one of those races you better have your A-game.  It's not any one part that makes a car work better or win racers, it's a group of parts done correctly that makes a substancial difference. I remember asking my dad one time about something he was working on, weather or not it really made a difference.  He told me in a stern voice, "Everything makes a difference." And there was no part on his car that was not perfect.  That doesn't mean pretty or expensive, it just means perfect.  When you have that attitude towards every bolt and part on your car you end up with something that does make a difference.  If you half ass spots or have the attitude that it really doesn't matter you're going to be behind the guy who is making sure he's getting the most out of everything he has. There are exceptions at times but as a whole it plays true.

So will a spacer win you a race? No.  Is it part of the puzzle that can give you a better shot at it?  Yes.

One more thing.  I know I'm biased but I consider my dad to be one of the smartest guys when it came to race prep.  He was kind of a freak of nature as his engineering background convinced him everything was a equation and everything had a solution. Even folding rags or holding a wrench had to be done a specific way.  As much as he knew, and he knew a lot, he never felt he was too smart to learn.  He was buried in tech articles, race mags 1/3 of his day.  Once you convince yourself you know it all, you're on the road to a rude awakening.
