^^^ Agreed! Porsche GT3 and GT2's come with spacers from the factory. Cup-car's run massive front spacers (~35mm + ) so they can keep the weight close to the center

Agreed!

Cup-car's run massive front spacers (~35mm + ) so they can keep the weight close to the center of the hub vs. having the rotor hat make up the space and putting the weight far from the center.

Sweet deal. Was rolling the front fenders any different with the 370 as compared to the 350 ? Dyno yet with the Mines ECU ? You said you're running stock tire sizes all around, is that because bigger wont fit ? Are the rears stretched like the fronts ? If the rears are stretched is it needed before the spacer or can larger tires be fit no problem either way ?

i think stockies are stretched, they can definitely use bigger tires with no rubbing...

Rolling was pretty much the same as any car.
No dyno yet w/ the mines rom, but soon. In the process of preppin the car for TimeAttack in 2 weeks.

We threw the stocker's on there, b/c we wanted a quick fix. The offsets allow a bit more rubber up front and there's a ton of room in the rear w/ no spacer or 5mi. Tires are a little stretched but nothing aggressive by any means. Front to rear stretch ratio is about the same, maybe a little less in the rear but again, nothing aggressive.

For now were just going to run the car in the next few track events as is, and dial in from there.

Stay tuned for Race/Time Attack updates!

Wish us luck =)
