First off, you better be carefull here or else all the search-****'s will flame the hell out of you.

But to answer your question, if you get the APS tall boy you will not need your 5/16 spacer. And you will have to get a new strut tower bar. From what i've seen 75% of the guys that change the plenum just get a spacer and call it a day. The spacer costs way less and the differences are probably negligible.

im gonna have to agree. its not worth the extra money to make gains you probably wont notice. stick with 5/16.

The tall boy looks SHARP. As far as performance, I bet there isn't much you could tell, but I always had an aversion to spacers of any kind.

Ironically, i have a Crawford uppler plenum. I just didn't like the idea of the spacer, so i replaced the whole upper plenum.
