well its only 1/8" difference. I don't know if that would make any difference in the gains between the 3/8" or 1/2", but youll see something going from stock. |

Together? What do you mean? The two spacers go in different areas of the car, not really doubling the effect. |

Yeah theres the one for the intake manifold, and one for the throttle body. i don't know which gives you more gains but thers probably not a big difference between the two of them. Could someone with spacers give some :help: ? |

The throttle Body one gave me a better throttle response but the intake spacer definately cooled down the upper intake

I have the 1\2 and it keeps the upper intake NICE and cool. I couldn't tell you if the spacer made a difference though because I did that at the same time I installed the ported intakes, so I have no idea how much is intakes and how much is spacer. I noticed a pretty substancial gain though. Damn.

The split port? About 50 more bolts, and a throttle body cable adapter.
