I hear of something called a blower spacer. Now, what exactly is it, its function, and is it worth getting. Thanks!

3/8" CNC'd spacer for between the Blower and Lower Intake. For aftermarket blowers it allows more clearance for aftermarket fuel rails. Also by raising the bottom of the intercooler higher above the base of the lower intake lowers intake temps by a reported 20deg....allowing for a more aggressive tune.

Thanks Hank..

Your like a walking dictionary of knowledge

and by increasing the length of the intake tract you are changing the rpm range the engine makes power in. longer intake tract should make more torque, and move the peak lower in the rpm band.

So would it be a good investment and really a good addition or am i wasting my time?

If you're gonna have the blower off and retune anyways, it couldnt hurt to drop the $200 on it. I wouldnt buy it if I wasnt taking off the blower and getting a retune though

anyone plumbed one of these for the giggle gas yet?

I haven't heard of anyone doing it, but I bet Hermann is considering it.

The problem is it is only 3/8 inch thick, so it might be a little tricky to do it and retain the structural integrity of the piece. Once you drill the edge for the fittings, there isn't much material left around them.

Placement of the spray bars may be an issue also.
