| Good buy! Does the spacer make a difference?? I've heard they are for carbed cars not efi? Also does the acufab produce that much of a power difference to justify the price?? I picked up a 78mm bbk tb/plenum combo today for $150! Great buy there too!

They say the spacer on a N/A motor is good for 2-4 more hp!.. I've got one on my car from Steeda and can say I didn't really notice a difference!.. But with it only being a 2-4 hp increase your not really going to feel any difference!.. Of course I figured 4 more hp for $30 ain't bad either!... ---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ---------- Quote: |

Most places are still selling those for close to $300!...

Ok I have a question about the install of this?? Is there a gasket that goes between the plenum and intake manifold??? Is the one in there reusable?? I need to know before I remove my current setup. I asked advanced but they couldn't find one in their system for that spot...please let me know!!
