Ditch the Spacer and run a shorter air cleaner if needed. 5" is excessive.


Lose the spacer. Hope you don't end up in the same situation I was in a while back. Get a big new intake that makes more power way up top, but you lose so much lowend torque that it never runs worth a crap at the track.



I like having the 5" air cleaner since I have the space for it right now. Obviously if I have to get something thinner I will, but I don't want less then 3" of air cleaner. I am a firm believer in running with an air cleaner to keep the engine clean (and my car slowed down taking it off this year) and if I am going to do that mine as well put the biggest filter on to allow the max amount of air to pass through.

Chip, what manifold did you switch too? Low end might be affected I am thinking as well, but with a loose converter like I have (5500) I would imagine the car will be above the weak point of the manifold (if there is some weakness in bottom end power that is...I have no idea what the power curve is like on these manifolds).
