Default Worth it to buy the full plenum?
Anyone think it's worth it to shell out the $800 for the full plenum, instead of a spacer? It's shiny.

That's all I needed to know. Where did you buy your plenum spacer? All I see are skunk2 spacers, and I hate that brand.

dont waste your money on the SSV. its you're staying NA get a plenum spacer (AAM or MD), if you plan to go FI donw the road get full plenum like Crawford or APS.

I went with the Crawford upper plenum, $300. Didn't like the looks/idea of a spacer so i spent that little extra and got the plenum.

Dont go with the SSV.

Im speaking from personal experience. I did a dyno on a Bone stock car and it lost power over stock.

I have the Crawford now, and i am very happy. Or just buy a spacer.

Later

Amazing, a plenum thread with no flaming.

I just purchased a MD 5/16th's spacer, so it obviously has my vote.
