Default Kinetix SSV + Helix Power Tower/Spacer

Is anyone running this setup?


I have the SSV but am holding off on installing if i can also do the Helix power tower + spacer as well.

I know guys with the plenum run both just want to make sure it will be the same with the SSV

Also, where did you guys buy the Helix from? is this link below for the combo?

Thanks Guys
Pete

Those Helix things are a waste of time and money. Just run the SSV if you are staying N/A or a plenum spacer with the stock plenum.

I hear a lot of mixed review about them. They most likely do not add power but I have heard they supposedly increase gas mileage and possibly improve throttle response?

1-Only install SSV if you boosted.

2-Throttle spacer = garbage

From who? Definitely not on a VQ.

Maybe on a Ford truck or something.

Why are people so concerned with getting better gas mileage? it's a sports car......you didn't buy it for gas mileage.

Based on previous people's dynos, I expect you might get better performance out of a spacer than the SSV if you're staying NA. But I realize you may be going more for the look than the performance, too.

It's on my list for the look and for direct port nitrous setup.
