Benefits of an Intake Spacer...

[GreenStangGT]

So I just got a GT40 upper and lower from a '96 Explorer and I'm trying to get everything figured out to install it. One of my last remaning questions is about intake spacers. I understand that the keep the intake cooler and help increase torque by making the runners longer, correct? So should I get one to pair with the GT40 set? What are the pro's and con's...?

i dont think they make much of a difference. if you get one cheap enough why not tho

Absolute WASTE of money. Their only meaningful purpose is for clearence purposes They don't "add" torque.

True. I have one, and the only reason is so that the throttle body clears the tall valve covers.
