SZM Plenum Mod Shoot Out

Right now the mods on my Z are a K&N Typhoon CAI, DC Sports headers, Injen SES Exhaust with stock cats. I've been looking at the 5/16 spacer but I'm still very unsure if the mod is worth it. Is there a sound difference because I currently like the way my car sounds and I really don't want to screw it up. If there is a sound difference what is it? I know that the Z's engine is a hard engine to squeeze extra HP out of and I've seen hundreds of dyno charts that prove or disprove gains but all I see are red, green, blue and yellow lines
LOL. What do those lines mean when I plant my **** in the seat and put my foot on the gas... does the 5/16 spacers give gains worthy of installing?

The red line is stock, and the yellow line is the MD 5/16th spacer. It shows a 12 hp difference. The MD 5/16th spacer is arguably the most reliable and consistent mod to give gains for the Z. Now make up your own mine, is 12hp to the wheels worth 265 bucks to you?

Turbo cars ALWAYS react better to mods. My wrx with a TBE, MBC, and tune went from 180whp stock to 250whp, cost me about $1500.
Also is forgedperformance a good place to buy the 5/16th'' mod?

Im going with the 5/16, does anyone have a dyno for a stock 2003 Touring 6 speed, with the spacer? The dyno I put up was SAE HP not WHP, I want to know what gains I can expect at the wheels.
Thanks for all the info.
