Has anyone tried this? Would you recommend it for a lightly modded New Edge? Or is this something for later down the road?

Intake Spacer ?

Cool, thanks, good looking out :beer:
I need to get some details on them, we're setting up a GP on my local board
Here is my dyno sheet with the PHP spacer.Red is before and Blue is after...it does offer small gains past peak HP and TQ

Waste of money from what I have heard.
A intake spacer is effective if it is made out of a phenolic or heat insulating material. You want to keep block heat from soaking into the intake manifold and thereby heating the air charge as it comes in. This will help any car.
Increasing the runner length will change the "tune" of the intake manifold. Longer runners usually increase low end torque at the expense of high rpm power. This "manifold tune" depends on a lot of other factors such as displacement, head flow in CFM, ect. It may help on some setups and not on others. No real way to tell other then testing.

well
I run one and although I have never hit the dyno, my butt-meter tells me it gave a small low/midrange boost. Could be my brain trying to justify the $100 :rollseyes but it definately did not make the car run any worse. If anything it feels stronger. It seems to be hit or miss for New Edgers who try these. I have a custom tune so maybe that has something to do with it? Not sure.
Most of my time is spent cruizin around town between 2500-5500 rpms so if I loose a few ponies at 6800rpm I could care less, I'd rather have a few more down low.

You know, I didn't think of that, but I never top my RPM's out either, I never even come close really. So if it would give me some down low that would be nice.
Just trying to be careful and not throw money away, plus I just asked about it on my local site and now there is a GP being setup for it, so I don't want a lot of us wasting our money

You do understand this spacer goes between the lid and the lower intake? It's not designed to reduce heat, I doubt the lid having heat in it is gonna effect power, lol.
