Maybe this is a stupid question, but could you do both?

you could certainly try it... but it might hit your hood, and it may not dyno any more then just one versus the other?

I think if you use both, then the hood hits the plenum. I have the crawford cast and I love it. If any performance difference it will not be noticable. I also think the crawford looks better then the stock+spacer.

Its not the amount of employees that makes a company. Its the customer service that makes a company.




I would say go with the Crawford Plenum. Spacer is nice if you want to maintain your upper plenum for the stealth of it. They both are going to perform about the same.

But one thing to note with the Crawford plenum is that it has a larger opening where the Throttle body connects. So if you have a bored throttle body you can take advantage of the extra size.

So you'd rather have 50 employees that know absolutely nothing? That has to be one of the most unintelligent remarks to date. Crawford is known for their reputation and the great contributions to not only for the Z33, but to the entire Z community. Not only that, how many employees do you think motordyne has? I see no reason at all how a quality of a product is rated by the number of employees.

I love the Crawford(I have a vintage old school with the welds). Its slightly larger in volume than the spacer, this is obvious the STB wont work with the Crawford its taller. If you want stock STB do the 5/16" spacer, if not, do the Crawford-also less places for it to leak under boost than the spacer and its 2 gaskets.
