It's spelled out pretty clearly on MotorDyne's website. Did you read the product descriptions on there yet?

Yep
 http://www.motordyneengineering.com/dynos.htm http://www.motordyneengineering.com/techinfo.htm Generally, the 1/2 inch spacer will yield more power up top while the 5/16" spacer will give you more midrange power.

If you look closely at the graph the 1/2" spacer will give you more HP through out the RPM range! (that's why I installed) Down side....you'll lose the OEM engine cover. (no longer fits) Now you'll have a chance to have another mod! Gary

That's kinda why I went with the 3/8" PL spacer, the thickness is between the 5/16 and 1/2.
On another note, I noticed on MD's webpage he has knocked the prices down on the 5/16" quite a bit

LOL gez man can a buddy try something different. IDK man if there are more gains in a different spacer then hey why not give it a shot. if the 1/2'' is better than the 5/16'' overall then why not switch

To be honest with you, you won't feel the gains over the 5/16" spacer. Stick with what you have. If you want to try something different that will give you more power then get a nitrous setup, or get a UTEC or Osiris.....based on your mods in your sig.

Yea if you're gonna do nitrous only get a wet kit but you'll also need a purge kit and maybe a bottle warmer. But if you do go with nitrous you NEED to get your car tuned for it!
But just FYI, i have a Turbo XS utec and the gains are NIGHT and DAY.

We can't possibly explain it any better than MD's very own website. You should try reading it when you have the time. I would suggest the 5/16 spacer. But it seems that you already have it
