skunk2 is made out of plastic so it will not absorb heat but due to its size the gains are at high rpm...motordyne offers two different size spacers (5/16" and 1/2")www.motordyneengineering.com
on their website they have dyno sheets of their spacers vs competitors.

I heard it does void warranty but most shops dont catch it.

Remember that if you live somewhere that gets cold (below 30 degrees) you should opt for the copper spacer.

I've yet to buy one simply because I dont want to install it, although they are fairly simple to do. And yes, motordyne FTW. Lots of complaints about skunk2 spacers around here!

If your choices are just between Skunk2 & AAM then I say AAM at least you still get to keep your engine cover on. AAM does look a lot better then Skunk2. AAM is made out of aluminum so I think it'll last longer.

I'll just be only the 10th person telling you this, but 10 votes for the same item might tell you something right?

So with that being said..get the MOTORDYNE SPACER (they have different ones to choose from depending on the weather in your area,etc.)
