I'd suggest doing a little more research. Kinetix makes a replacment plenum, AAM is a spacer. Another popular spacer is the one made by Motordyne. Depending on which supercharger you go with, you may not even need a plenum or spacer (i.e. Stillen).

the Motordyne 5/16 and 1/2 yielded the most power gains from 5000 up. The kinetix was in between. The crawford showed more stable linear power opposed to the kinetix.

I would say save your money, and get the kinetix full plenum, ssr plenum, or the crawford...they are all great plenums

I've already had one installed one week ago, a Kinetix V+. I would say it made the most difference of all of the mods i have on the car. When the car starts, it has this immediate air sucking noise which is not heard from the stock plenum. Torque and power are greatly improved from 3k and up. When WOT, the car just pulls like as if there is no tomorrow. Definitely a must if going NA.

I am running the Skunk2 (5/8") spacer along with my Vortech Supercharger. I felt a pretty good increase in power especially on the top end. The Shunk2 is the largest spacer in the market and believe me with the supercharger the more airspace the better. Nevermind the hype about leaks, put a nice bead of Black RTV Silcon sealant on the top and bottom of the spacer and you are good to go.
