New plenum, same engine cover?

I just installed my Skunk2 plenum spacer which is 5/8" (thicker than 1/2" for you people that are not good with math). My engine cover still fits.. I just can't screw in the back 2 screws but it works. My friend's engine cover fits as well and he has a 1/2" MD spacer.
..but since you have the Kinetix, I don't think it'll fit.
Goodluck,
Jeff

I'd remove the engine cover, even if it fit with whatever plenum/spacer you go with. It traps heat. On my last car, a 2K2 Maxima, someone tested ambient temperatures in various areas of the engine bay at idle, and under load. Results showed temps were lower without the engine cover...
