It has pretty much been decided that the spacer performs as well or better in some cases than the plenum and is half the price. However, the plenum is a little more showy, especially the polished ones. This post will probably get moved to the intake section pretty soon so look there to find responses.

Ive got the motordyne 5/16 spacer with copper TB and I felt a huge difference, i didnt expect much til i got out there and couldnt control 3rd gear spin (and thats also thanks to my tires) but still i always do a before and after drive before i install my stuff. and its an EASY install complete directions and its fun i think

yes they give you strut bar spacers, looks natural unless u know what ur looking for... I love the stealth look over a plenum (considering i race constantly and dont want people to see EVERYTHING i have)

Maybe depending on the design and thickness of the spacer.
