I'll find one some how. There are a lot of people on the org that live an hour from me. I'll snag one of them for sure.

Have you tried searching for people in the regional forums?

No, I haven't. I am not quite ready to schedule a test session for the 4th gen. When I am, I will post a thread about it in the DC forum.

Adding this thick piece of gasket to the manifold will lengthen the runners, therefore changing your HP and torque peak lower on the rpms. Longer runners=more velocity which then moves the peak down on the chart. Tested this on a 5.0 and would be the same for maxima.

Don't get your hopes up too much. It all depends on how hot your intake manifold gets with the stock setup. If I think there are potential gains to be had, then I will produce the spacers. We'll see.

this is for the lower intake manifold right? The one with the thin metal gaskets? The intake manifold gasket between the upper and lower is already plastic/rubber type gasket.

Yes, this kit can include the lower intake manifold. I will also include an upper intake manifold spacer if I think there is a gain. A throttle body spacer will also be included. It all depends on the test results before I can say what will be included in the final kit.
