Depends one which year you have. Rev-up or non rev-up.

Throttle body spacers can be used for various different things but they don't make HP.

I'd stay away from a throttle body spacer, you won't see any gains from it.

You can't go wrong with the PowerLab 3/8'' Plenum Spacer, we've had amazing results using them! We're using them to help make 900WHP in our project cars

I'd like to make 900whp. Will I need any other mods besides your spacer?

If a spacer can net you 10 whp you will need to get 90 spacers. Don't forget that you will lose your strut bar and need to cut a hole on your hood.

Now THAT kind of math I can understand. Since I already have 250whp, I only need 65 spacers. Each spacer is only 3/8" so I just need a 24" high hood bulge.

Sorry OP, I think you have your answer, upper plenum spacers DO make power on this car, TB spacers don't.

Hello,

I did read ALL the posts, and I'm sure you didn't literally mean it when you asked "I'd like to make 900whp. Will I need any other mods besides your spacer?". Which was a "HAHA" post to IntenseFab's response about using a spacer to make 900whp. So I then made a "HAHA" post to your response, but it seems to have gone way over your head.

And as for me being clueless... I'll take you back to the 1st grade son!! (That's a Joke)

-Mike (Wonders why things need to be spelled out )
