those things aren't cheap. they claim 5 to 10+ horse power gain depending on which model you choose

ive heard its supposed to help with cooling and the fact that the pistons fartherest away from the tb dont get as much air as they should so this helps that. i heard a couple of z guys saying it was a worthwhile mod.

def. interested in any first hand testimonial. Plus, wondering if it will fit under strut bar that is a pretty tight fit now.

Gains come from cooler intake manifold, which is not going to do anything for the 00-01 manifolds cause they are already plastic and don't trap heat as eassy as aluminum manifolds.

I have gotten 7WHP accross the board on my SR20 with the intake manifold spacer, and I talked to them about making one for my DE-K and they told me there will probably be zero gains due to the nature of the manifold.
