It's been talked about several times, running a search will easily bring up what's been said. Here's a list for you.

From the picture it looks like only the lower intake manifold is being sold. I would love to see dynos for this with a stock upper intake manifold (plenum) or a Crawford/Kinetix plenum. Anyone have this?

i think it might be smoother, its not a spacet its the bottom tpart of the plemun that routes the air in to the runners which are attatched to the heads.

no i was wron its just the freakin spacer
someone needs to make an imitation and sell it for 150 dollars with new gasket seals if needed unless the pader itself acts as a gasket seal, whick means it has to be really good quality or our cars will have vacum problems. peace

It's more than just a spacer. IIRC it also includes new engine mounts to sit it down by 10mm.

As you recall Aps last time i tried an 8mm spacer I lost 10rwkw.

Just get a good replacement plenum like crawford or Kinetix is they way to go.

Yeah but I still think there could be some benefit if used in conjunction with ECU tuning. You're right though, a replacement is easier and probably cheaper.

Hmmmm... I wonder the benefit (if any) of using this spacer in conjunction with a KINETIX or Crawford Plenum?
