5/16 spacer will fit with OEM hood and OEM strut tower brace. you will need to use a couple of washers to spacer up the strut bar a little bit to avoid vibration.

it will *not* work with a lot of aftermarket hoods, though, keep that in mind.

throttle body spacers are a waste of money and you will not see benefits.

i purchased the new skunk2 racing 5/8 plenum spacer and although it didnt fit under the factory srtut bar. i did feel a pretty good gain. it sounds like a monster past 5k and the hp doesnt drop off so early, it feel slike it just keeps pulling. makes it hard to keep your foot out the gas. I havent tried to fit the factory strut over it. i have heard there are bars that will fit, and it seeemed to seal very well. no problems at all.
