just a meme
the only spacers that MIGHT work (just might, depending on the engine) are intake runners spacers
think porting and polishing the intake and divide the benefits by 10

what the fuck lol, they're just adapters, the only time anything with '"spacers"is used is with plenum spacers.

If you get a 80mm adapter and port match the intake manifold now you're going to see gains if the runners are wide enough to accommodate the amount of air... there's a lot of variables.

porting isn't the same as shaping or cleaning flashings.

and a lot of older engines get a lot of gains from port shaping and combustion chamber shaping.

it does literally nothing.

You should get a CIA instead, those things can easilh add 10hp.

You should get an electric supercharger

kek I remember seeing these in the early 00s. forgot they excited.

every dipshit with a Z71 back home claimed to have one of these

no one could tell me how it would actually do any good

>get a CIA instead

Don't these just restrict the intake and do literally nothing else?
