Default RS500 Plenum With Spacer

Any benefits to this?

I know you can fit a sacer to a standard plenum but what about on a RS500 one?

he only runs 4 injectors.

the important bit is the plenum and throttle as they are much bigger than standard

the car will need remapping if you fit the plenum spacer as there will now be more air.

rod used to run the 8 set up on his old 500 bhp engine but dont think he used the spacer then??

IMO the spacer is only worth while over 550bhp
