My Z feel slower after Skunk2 spacer install
hey guys, for some reason my car feels a lil slower after i installed the skunk2 spacer. Has anyone had this same problem or is it all in my head? Thanks everyone!

most likely in your head but check for vaccum leaks.

Re-torque every bolt that you touched, then reset the ECU.

I dont believe there is any leaks....because the idle would be off. It runs just fine... Or doesnt the motor care..?

^ Yeah. Too big of a spacer. Law of diminishing returns at play.

You can either unplug the terminal on the batter overnight, or do the pedal method.

There's actually quite alot of dyno charts to back up the gains for the powerlabs spacer and the motordyne. I'd recommend not going over 5/16th
