as far as i know the 4x4 plenum will do 400hp any way & also i think its a 14mm spacer you need & not the 12mm the best way to check is measure the fuel rail mounting lugs on the plenum & see how thick they are ,that is how thick the spacer should be so the fuel rail will bolt straight on .

4wd inlet manifold has better flow and volume than 2wd item.
MSD's 14mm spacer is a good with the combination of 4wd manifold. This spacer doesn't have fuel rail mounts because you can use manifod's on the opposite side(injector's side).
If you have a 12mm spacer then this spacer must have fuel rail mounts if not avoid to install it.
