5/16 you gain at 4000k and can use the engine cover.

1/2"md
I've got the 1/2"md on my 04 sedan with no engine cover problems. It was an excellent mod and I haven't done a dyno prior or post, but can say it feels quite nice! Good luck!
I have a 1/2" MD spaacer + Iso thermal kit FOR SALE . It is new in box. I havn't had time to install it and now that I'm not driving my car I have lost interest in it completely. $250 if anyone is interested.

You can't use engine cover with 1/2" spacer from what I know. Does anyone know why MD changed 3/8" spacer to 5/16"? I have 3/8" but I haven't installed it yet(shame on me because it's been sitting in my garage since March)

To make room for the Iso Thermal.
The Iso Thermal gasket is 1/16" thick. Add that to the 5/16" and you get 3/8".
So the total heigth is the same but now the plenum runs cooler. It makes a good trade.
