they say 5/16 is good for gains across the power band and 1/2 is good for high end

5/16 you wont gain as much
1/2 youll lose some low end but gain in high end

5/16 allows you to keep engine cover while 1/2 does not

its all up to you

Best summary of plenum spacers I have heard. Word of the day: CONCISE.

1-light flywheel/clutch
2-pullies

they may be labor intensive but, aren't we talking about best performance mods???

i bet a G with KnN/z tube, plenum, hfc would get spanked by a G with just a light weight flywheel

Thumbs up Thanks

I was concerned about altering the sound of my G but making it louder is no problem, thanks for the advice.

From all of the various threads I have read about the plenum spacer, it doesn't look like it will do much for our cars without the MREV/MREV2 hand-in-hand.

Can someone clarify? Dynos?
