Yes, those are the numbers that she produced after the SSV upgrade.
I had also installed a thermal manifold gasket during the upgrade.

I figure (not saying its correct or anything) that with the average guy installing it, and not installing it absolutley perfectly..spacers= more room for error and more open seals ect. I'm not against spacers, i think they're very effective, its just one of the things i was thinking about before i got the ssv. I was actually about to get the 5/16th spacer but i figured i'd rather have the 1/2..then i figured if i get the 1/2 i'd need a strut bar...then if im gonna get the 1/2 and a strutbar, then i might as well get a polished crawford and a strutbar..and the price just kept shooting up lol.. I got sucked in by the mod bug. When i get it and install it, i'll let you know if theres any improvement (should get it this week... i ordered 11/11/05)
EDIT: btw since that guy gained like 16hp/18trq, i'm almost sure its due to his secondary mods. Kinda like synergistic..besides u can suck more air in if u can blow more air out.. a SSV on a stock car richens the af ratio..by adding hfc exhaust and such, it leans it out a bit more. You can get more gains thru that alone.

nice, way to shut up the crawford tools.
btw, i have the SSV as well and i love it. It produces more power throughout the band as opposed to a plenum or spacer according to the kinetix dyno and my butt dyno

i wouldn't say they're tools.. theres just always something better. the price/hp ratio however is exponentiall decreasing as the price goes up. Crawfod is right in the middle..SSV is upper middle.. there are more radical and expensive designs (think topsecret..ect)

I only call them tools because they rush into any thread that talks about a part (headers, manifold, etc) that isnt crawford.
