Default Anyone using Blox Racing plenum spacers? DYNO results?

There's not much info on the forums about Blox Racing plenum spacers here....just curious if anyone has run these spacers. The prices are much cheaper compared to motordyne and aam...maybe its one of those "you get what you paid for?"

I see they are offered in Aluminum or Thermal Shield Composite Plastic. Thickness is 5/8"

Well if anyone can has any info about these...Tlease let me know. Thanks in advance.

I have sold several of these spacers on G35driver and haven't recieved a single conplaint.

While I wouldn't say that BLOX put in the countless hours that Motordyne did in their research, they still prove to be a good bang for buck mod.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Throw some RTV on it, and you should be gtg!! It's just a spacer, shouldn't be very easy to mess up!

the only compliants i've heard from blox or skunk2 is that in some cases on some Z guys theirs melted =/

but I run a powerlab on my G and it's all good, and ppl with motordyne enjoy theirs as well so between the two would be your best bet

Do you have a link about these spacers melting on their cars? From what I heard, they are knock offs from motordyne I believe.

From their website they do have the aluminum version but its still TBA.

But in any case, they do the same job as other spacers. I have spacers for my maxima when I swapped a VQ35 and using a brand named NWP (well known in the maxima community) and never had problems with them. Same materials and all so I think people are just paying for the "brand name"?

I would like to know the link as well. Never heard of that happening and would definitely make me rethink offering this spacer.

I have a skunk2 which I believe is similar or identical to the blox and it's worked flawlessly.

Equal thickness spacers are gonna yield equal gains. In this case i don't see how a brand would make any difference.
