I have one as well but I installed at the same time I installed the ported manifold so I am not sure as far as a gain just from the spacer.

You and me both man. I've got mine since Corbin made the 2nd, and I believe the last batch. That was probably almost a year ago.

I second that statement.

I'm also going to install my spacer with a p&p mani, so I won't be able to point out specific gains.

J/K!

A little history:

A year ago, intake manifold spacers were popular for V6 A/S cars. People said "when will someone make these for us?". No one stepped up to the plate, so I gave in. I put in my own time and money to design a spacer, buy material, and get a prototype built. I ended up making about 20 of them. The material and CNC time is mad expensive, so I made about jack shit for profit. Gains were apparent, but not as great as expected.

For any new guys:

I've designed and built a few different products and done group buys over the years. I always end up putting in far too much of my own time and making very little green. The only time I end up selling stuff is when I'm requested to do so by a significant number of members. I love a challenge and am often too nice to refuse a request.
