Default Esprite Plenum Spacer WTF?!?!?!

http://www.injectedperformance.com/V...?ID=573&VID=36

This is the first time i have seen this and i searched and got no results so im here to ask...WHAT DO YOU THINK lol. Not much info there on it but im sure someone will be able to project a accurate estimate of horsepower gains from that picture. I mean hell, people did w/ the Cosworth plenum pics And plus i think the blue annodizing must add about 10WHP alone plus since its blue like ice then it will cool intake temps by roughly 50degrees.




But for reals, anyone know anything about this?

Ya, if I'm not mistaken I think they where the first or at least one of the first to come up with the spacer.

And IIRC, it's not blue anodized metal, it's a compasite material (blue plastic), hense the cooler plenum temps.

I've seen that in a Japanese Z mag. I wonder what the measurement is? 1/2 inch?

the link says it's anodized... I would I think the price might be why there haven’t been any around...

I wanted to buy this one but it might not be the best bang for the buck. But there should be gains.

The spacer is expensive and the wait time is long for something that you can get now, the Motordyne spacers.... I don't believe that The Esprit one comes with isothermal gaskets for the lower collector, which is also another benefit of the MD.... Gains are sure to be had with the Esprit don't get me wrong, but an aluminum spacer you can get here, Why wait for something that isn't as good as what you can get right now for half the price.....
