Let us know your track times I am interested to see what you run. I think you should hit mid to low 11's if you stick it.

My friend has a 1 inch open spacer he said i can have...you think its worth me putting on my setup? Or is it only the tapered design that what makes the noticeable power?

Well, the plain jane open designs have worked and help, but the CNCd versions are engineered and expensive for a reason, R&D go into them and make the most out of the fuel flow.

what he said. I can honestly say i was not a beleiver in the spacer deal never have been til now. I always thought they were a joke but now after seeing the difference WOW I know that the gains i got might not be the same on every setup or may be better on some who knows all i know is they work

WOW 11.18 at 98 mph that is impressive....if you didnt let off you would be in the 10's for sure.

Yea, i am going to see if i can find the phenolic design maybe, see if it helps clear up some part throttle issues or not.

Well, price wise, the CNCd versions cost too much right now, so i am going to buy the plastic 4 hole versions and take the grinder to it to replicate the CNCd version as close as possible. Why not? Just wish i had a dyno to find out before and after grinding.

Think a taller tire would help or is there enough room?

So I been doing a lot of research on spacers since this post has been up and I am in between a cnc super sucker 1" spacer or the 1' cone style spacer. Does anyone out there have experience with the cone spacer? From what I read about them it makes sense and they claim to make more power. But I thought before I order I would get some other people's opinions. here are some links of the cone style spacers.

I think that the cone itself is what makes it work s well. The CNCd cone is in all the designs, wish we dyno data on alll the different setups.
