installed plenum spacer ...WOW!!!
installed plenum spacer ...WOW!!!
So I installed the blox plenum spacer today, after i bought it i read some bad reviews on it, and some good revies .
Since i already paid for it, i put it on today.
Took 30 minutes
First thing I noticed after install is the RPM's drop alot slower then before , I think it must be from the extra air that stays in the manifold after the throttle closes . Its nice between shifts im only looseing bettweeen 1~1.5k in RPMS.
any one else notice this ?
Also the car seems to pull alot harder over 5.5k rpms
And the car does sound diffrent, ( im running z-tube with a stock box
) , my stillen box is coming any day.
As far as heat, the manifold was untouchable after a long drive before the install.
After install i went a long run of some hard driving, and placed my hand on the manifold. It still was really hot and burned alil but i was able to keep my hand on it for a while.
I hope this thing doesnt melt, wish me luck guys. So far i think its a good 100$ spent
O and BTW im fukced, the mod bug has officialy bit me ..... Berk HFC's coming soon to

The spacer was totally worth my money. I couldn't feel the power of my spacer when I installed mine because I had my Intake & Exhaust installed at the same time =) but i hear from everybody else they loved theirs.
Motordyne's Aramid gasket will help keep the intake plenum cool enough to rest your hand on...

ya i checked mine today and was able to hold my hand on it, tho it was pretty warm still.... it was later on in the night and the temp was around 70ish
The day i installed it it was mid 80's and i took the g out for a drive like i stole the thing
Im waiting on my stillen intake but ive got a better chance of hitting some lottery numbers then getting a tracking number from intense motorsports ......
Also my y-pipe and new resonator will be on next weekend.
cant wait.
