Default plenum spacer.......

ok guys i`m sure its been done a few times but i want to know if these really have any real benifit to a car???????

as i`m going to put a 4x4 plenum on to aid air flow and hopefully push my car to as good as 400bhp as pos is it worth me having one while i have the plenum off?????

Not realy looked into it to much the main reson i have'nt yet is because i use S/S Button head Alan key bolts and counter sunk them in the inlet and if i go for the Spacer i will have to hunt around for longer bots

If i remember rightly when i spoke to paul hill once before in the past he said that they saw 30 bhp from adding the spacer on a engine and a remap, but i dont no if the remap was a must

as much as that on what plenum though and how much power did the car have??? cos the main issue with the plenums is the elbow so no mateer how big the plenum if the air flow is at its peak in the elbow it will make no difference or am i way off?????

14mm Will fit much better, as you simply bolt the fuel rail to the opposite side and the injectors still sit at a nice angle, the 10mm ones are prone for injector fitting/seal problems.
