Intake Spacers

What you see in that link is what Ron A. used to make. I haven't heard from him in about a year. I highly doubt he still sells them anymore. Too bad too. They were machined with high quality.

But not like butt dyno's are much be be said for. My thought for the next biggest increase is a custom intake, LSD, hiflow cat and 2.5 catback, and lightweight flywheel before FI'ing the engine. Not all these directly add hp/tq, but help put it to the ground.

My UDP is a FM one. Not as small as Nick's right? So I wonder why I could feel the difference then? My spouse even mentioned it "felt peppier" right after the install. I noticed it revs a bit faster, and we got about 2 miles per gallon from it. sigh It could be that placebo effect stuff again though I spose.

I would so love to do the 5 speed swap. Can't afford it, and the tech is just beyond me. If I tried to do it it would take me a month of sundays.

I removed my AC last summer after it seized up. Loosing the condenser helped my B&M tranny cooler work a lot better. Those condensers don't breathe that well IMO. Back when the pump still worked, it felt like at least a 15hp loss whenever I turned it on. I haven't missed it very much.

the FM unit is a proven performance upgrade, and you should feel the difference. Nick's pulley is even better though. I believed someone dynoed the FM unit and it made 7WHP

Thanks for the good feedback 93sundance.
