Motordyne vs Skunk2 plenum spacers
What's the difference? Pro's or Con's with each? Noticable gains with the Skunk2. I'm particularly interested in non-rev-up engine spacers. The reason I ask this is because there is a small difference in price.

Can anybody tell me what's the benefits of the Motordyne isothermal spacer over the basic spacer? They both claim the same HP increase (11-13hp). Thanks.

I have heard a few bad reviews about the skunk2 spacer.
I have only heard gread reviews on the motordyne spacer. I have it and I def. feel the difference on the freeway. Do a search and you should find some great info on these.

I understand that it keeps it cooler but if it doesn't give more HP then is it worth it, given that it cost more? Does it give any other benefits? Thanks for the reply.

Hi Guys,
Iso Thermal doesn't add power per say, it prevents power loss from heat soak. Heat soak is what you get after a long drive, if you are stuck in traffic or at the track. Check out the Copper link below to see a lot of Q and A on the subject. Tony

what happens if you have the iso thermal (non-copper) and leave the valve closed all the time? esp. if it drops to -40degrees outside (but you arn't driving it then). Anythign bad?

You will have a really rough idle, but that won't happen till it's more like 30 degrees for more then 2 hours.

I am in the same dilema
I am ready to order but deciding whether to get the iso thermal or not, I live in NYC, do I need it? Is the valve easy to adjust or annoying? Do I need to open and close it often or just every season? I would imagine the install with the iso thermal is more difficult?

you just need to turn it w/ a long-shaft screwdriver. not too much of an inconvenience. i would get it just because before, touching the plenum after a hard run was unbearable because of the heat; now I can touch it w/o burning myself
