Default plenum spacer

so i have a 50 dollar gift cert to American muscle and was thinking about getting a tuner, but dont wanna cough up 320 right now, so if i was to get a plenum/throttle body spacer between the intake manifold could i expect to see any difference? i have an intake, throttle body, 75mm plenum already, among other mods.

I have the intake spacer on my 00 Gt and I don't like it. It was designed for the stock plenum, not the bigger Accufab one. It isn't that much of a difference, but there may be a flow restriction depending on what model you have. When I take it back apart to do intake work, I am taking it off. I installed the spacer with the 75mm TB and Plenium, so I don't know if there was a difference. If I were you, I would think twice, but that is just my .02.

Use the $50 for something good.. put it toward a tuner like the other guys suggested, or maybe some rear gears.
