Intake Spacer
 
Does the intake spacer actually work, is it worth the money? Anyone running one?

1-2 hp if you find one for 15 bucks or less, it's a decent deal, anything more IMO is a waste.

Get an afternarket plenum and you can pick up 8-10 hp. It requires no spacer, the extra height is built in.

Intake spacer will fit but won't help at all. Sell it or return it.

I say install it. If it feels like you lost power (too much volume) remove it. If not, keep it. Or you could dyno with and without.

Personally i don't think the spacer is worth the money. If i were you i would return it but again thats just me.

everyone argues this on all the forums, if intake and TB spacers really work. Some say you can 2-5 RWHP but now one ever dyno's before and after results. I personaly don't think its worth spending 40-60 on something that may do nothing for you. I don't see how it can give you to much volume to cause a problem. I have seen some monster intake spacers on 87-95 5.0s but the spacers for the 96-04's just don't seem as popular.
But, seeing as you already bought it. Put it on and tell us what you think of it.

i just bought my intake spacer and throtle body spacer as well as a new TB/Plenum package. should all be here this week and hope to install it the day it comes. im hoping to get 2 hp with each spacer for a total of 4 which is not bad for the price. they have tb spacers and intake spacer packages on Ebay for like $50 bucks. ppl spend like $400 dollars for like 8 hp so why not 50 bucks for 4 hp? thats if they work but i'll take a risk for the cheap money.

They will give you better throttle response and maybe a little HP. A couple of local guys have different ones and they say they helped.One guy has the Poweraid spacer and it whistles and sounds kind of cool.
