TrickFlow has the best looking spacer. It's phenolic and has no crazy swirls in it. It's only about 62 bucks at www.summitracing.com. I'm thinking about trying one just to see if it helps any by making the intake seem like it has longer runners.

LxMan1, I looked at the Trans dapt one for my 96 FSB. Is it similar to the one you are looking at?

I'll try one, there only 60 bucks.
I have to get rid of my trouble codes first though.

Close, the Trick-Flow is phenolic instead of aluminum and smooth bore. The torque curve spacer looks interesting and only $52 for my 01 5.4L.

If you get thier cai and it doesn't have a spacer, then there was no benifit on the ole dyno.

Jeep magazine dyno these and showed no HP gain or milage gain.
