Under drive pulley = :thumbsup

throttle body = ok or even better is the Modern Performance 60mm throttle body

spacer = junk

intake manifold = out of the box = :thumbsdown after modification = :thumbsup

After he fixed it :P

I'm thinking of trying something different with the stock intake manifold (I seem to have gained extras)

i'm agreeing with my friends above . . .
UDP = good idea
TB = anything 60mm MP or Jeep
Spacer = waste of cash, wait check that, send me the money and then it will be worth it lol
OBX = only if you dont use it straight out of the box

Symtechlabs.com makes a good spacer for the stock intake manifold. I know its not what you guys were talking about but is a nice part.

now THAT type of spacer, when done right and with the right materials (which symtechlabs are :thumbsup), is actually worth it.
however there are other parts id by first, and if you mod an OBX Manifold then the symtech wont work for ya :(
(hey symtech! hint hint nudge nudge make a Phenolitic gasket for the intake manifold hehe :) )
