Plenum spacer

Looking to get a MD plenum spacer for my 2006 sedan G, and I'm not sure if I should get the basic,ISO, or copper 5/16 spacer. I live in middle TN so it's hot summers and pretty cold winters, never know if it'll snow here (like this year we barely had any snow) any help would be great, thanks

What did you read on Motordyne's site about what would work best for you?

If you want more hits open in the marketplace with a WTB TAG.

I'm over in the valley in East TN. I think you'd be fine with just the basic. Thats what I'm running with.

Well MD said any one of them are fine but they say the ISO keeps it from freezing in the cold, and if it snows don't get the copper one. So I'm guessing I'll go with the ISO thermal

Go with the basic. There's no real noticeable improvement from either the iso or copper. The only difference between the basic and iso kit is the coolant control valve and a thermal gasket that goes under the lower plenum. Still heat soaks like a bi%ch during the summer.

I never got the chance to run my harley or my 600 r on the Dragon. That has to be the ultimate ride on a bike!

Hey Droopy I live over near Morristown and this year alone has seen crazy TN weather. We've had snow, spring weather, snow, spring weather, snow, and now spring weather. You haven't had any issues with the basic?
