also, im guessing that in the NC/VA area I would be better off with the copper isothermal one since in spring and fall the night/day temperatures sometimes vary between 30s/70s respectively?

thanks

I am in Virginia Beach Area and have a ISOthermal spacer. Have had no problems. If your in northern VA you may want to get the copper since it gets colder.

The valve is just underneath the air intake tube on the driverside side of the plenum.

For places like Florida, you can close the valve and leave it off... unless in some rare case it got unusually cold there.
...Hell will freeze over before Florida ever gets cold though.

Absolutely no problem at all. But it is better if it is closed during the warm season. Your plenum will run a lot cooler.

No, its just a piece of metal..... yes it comes with everything, look at Tonys website. It brings everything you need, even threadlock if you want to use it.

I'm curious about the 1/2 spacer too. As compared to the 5/16 what are the pros and cons of each? Seems like the 5/16 is much more popular.

The differences are shown in great detail in the dyno section of our website.

Basically, the 1/2" spacer makes more top end power and the 5/16" makes a higher average power.

What is best depends on how you drive.
