Phenolic Spacer?
Has anyone purchased NSN's phenolic spacers? (throttle body or intake manifold) Any dynos on these things? They are having a birthday bash sale and I was wondering if this was something I needed to purchase. I have an itchy credit card finger

i would say no. the only reason being there are no real gains to be had by this...it's a lot of work to install them and they dont "bling up" anything.
if you're serious about building an all out engine then yeah throw them on...otherwise you wont see any gains.

I attempted to install it but the problems i had:
Impossible to remove intake bolts under the manifold.
Could not re-rig the throttle if i nstalled the TB spacer.
Just ended up blocking off the hot water to the TB.
If you do it - please let me know how to overcome and prevail!
I would probably combine with a VTCS removal.
