i had a 1/2" spacer on my stang and i just finally got fed up with it. the thing was the biggest waste of my money. i really didn't notice any improvement with it. The biggest downfall was that my car was a little too rich off the bottom...like when u first get moving, it wanted to die out. Use the money towards a real performance part.

Really all the thing does is raise the peak hp up a few rpms, not really any actual gain - at least none that I know of

What about those fixed turbine spacers? The ones with the... well ficed turbine looking thing that goes in the intake. Are those worth it?

Im an aerospace ground engineer and our turbine engines use the same thing to boost air:fuel efficiency. But thats a 100,000 rpm engine.
