intake spacer
My buddy has a brand new intake spacer from UPR that he's offering to me for free. It's for a 96-04 gt, and is supposed to work with a aftermarket tb/plenum. I run the Accufab 75mm combo. So my question is, is it worth putting on? Could it potentially add a couple of horsepower? Will it screw up my idle or will i need any type of retuning afterwards? I realize it's one of those mickey mouse mods (that's why i never looked into one) but since it's free i figured i'd ask you guys, and see what you thought.

I'll prob add a little but nothing you'd notice in the butt dyno. Those just add "volume" to your plenum to act as an after market one. So with an aftermarket on it should effectively help in some since... I say try it too and if you are not 100% completely happy remove it and ebay like mentioned above, lol

Yeah, i guess i'll grab it (why not it's free) and try it out. I guess if it screws up the idle and such, i'll just take it off. No big deal. I mean if it makes 1-2 hp with no issues, that's worth it for free right? lol.
My only thought is my 75mm combo is already a little overkill (maybe it helps more with the nitrous i don't know) with just bolt ons, and adding it may actually cost me a few hp. In all reality, i'm sure i'll never know the difference either way lol.
