Any benefits to an Intake Mani spacer??

93hatch · February 26th, 2009, 12:20 PM

I have one sean gave me sittin in the shed we're gona throw on today cuz we got some free bolts long enough, so far all ive read is it keeps down heat transfer between the upper and lower and helps clear tall valve covers, im assuming this is about it right? i think its a half inch spacer

Iwannagofast · February 26th, 2009, 12:23 PM

yeah thats all i have ever heard in ways that they help

93hatch · February 26th, 2009, 12:24 PM

funk it we'll throw it on when my friends off work and ill find out for myself

Iwannagofast · February 26th, 2009, 12:28 PM

anyone else got any opinions?

u think it may hurt your low end power? raising the intake will make the time the air has to reach the chambers longer so.... maybe lose a few hp and bottom end and gain a few at top?

hmmmmmmmmm maybe? but shorter runners give better high end so maybe itll do the opposite? idfk niggha

when i put the new 65mm throttle body on from summit the vent tube put a dent in my hood.

i would check the clearance before you slam the hood down.

i was about to say this. i've got a one incher on mine and without a cowl hood, it would definitely be all up in da hood... fo shizz.

at least looking at it from the side it looks like it would. it sticks up quite a bit. well, it used to. now it's on my garage floor with about elevnteen other things that i had to removify.

93hatch · February 26th, 2009, 05:36 PM

rotfl spacer install FAIL i barely had one of the bolts tight that goes in the middle under the lil 5.0 badge and it stripped the fuck outa the threads on my lower, so we took out the spacer and tightened down all the bolts but that middle one doesnt get tight LOLOLOL sooooo needless to say im gona be getin a new intake mani as my next mod, fuck this explorer intake first the casting where the fuel rail tightens down cracks then shit strips

Squints · February 26th, 2009, 06:15 PM
