    Yes and it uses an inferior gasket to seal. The NST spacer went through more machining to use a factory OEM rubber gasket. Same as whats on the bottom of the plenum.

    If you wanted to use this with boost or no boost you are not going to want to use the other brand. NST is a better product.

    I believe he is planning to gain $300 bucks out of every member here who decides to buy one.;)

    Proven logic says that adding spacers at any stage in the intake system, will only make it harder for the air (oxygen) to reach its destination (combustion chamber). Considering the engine will only inhale air as needed. Only exception to the rule, is a supercharger which would pack the intake plenum with air whether the engine needs it or not so the next time the engine needs a large supply of air, is already available and do not have to fetch it from the mouth of the intake system.

    :sigh:

    "Resonance" is defined as a vibration. It's the action of moving back and forth. Air in your intake manifold resonates or moves back and forth with the opening and closing of your intake valves. It does not move in a straight line from the air filter to the cylinder at all times as so many people believe. When the intake valve opens, air is pulled into the cylinder by the low pressure created from the downward movement of the piston. When the intake valve closes, the air in the intake is still moving forward towards the valve. There is nothing driving it but inertia at this point. It slams up against the closed intake valve and creates an area of high pressure. This high pressure is then reflected as a wave back up the runner away from the valve. When the pressure wave reaches the intake plenum (a common area shared by all the intake runners), it is then reflected back down the runner towards the valve again. If this pressure wave approaches the valve as it is open, then it will help flow more air into the cylinder. It will actually push more air into the cylinder than the cylinder could suck in by itself. The valve closes and the process repeats again. This whole process results in increased volumetric efficiency (more air entering the cylinders than normal).
    Since your engine is nothing but a large air pump, more air = more horsepower/torque. The intake runner must be properly sized (length and width) in order to enable the pressure wave to arrive back at the intake valve as it opens for the next cycle. The only drawback of this is that the "resonance tuning" is only effective in a precise RPM band.

    An intake spacer will lengthen the runner which causes the air inside of it to have to travel a longer distance. The pressure waves also have a longer distance to travel. They travel at the speed of sound. This doesn't change! Since they have a longer way to travel, they arrive back at the intake valve later. At lower RPMs, obviously, the valves are opening and closing slower. The intake valve reopens later and this can be timed with the intake pulse (with the spacer) in order to create more torque at lower RPMs.



    And lets take the rest of the discussion over to the appropriate thread
