Speed Density Air/Intake..... After recieving this intake I was very pleased. The dual snout allows even air travel into the TB. I trimmed about two inches off this after my mock-up to bring it back a little. But, still can't get the factory hood to close.
TB spacers do not work on LTXs at all. The intake is already flawed by design, and "spinning" the air will not help the poor distribution that causes poor idle on high overlap cams and uneven amounts of nitrous to each cylinder on big shots.
Probably costing you power as a restriction - these are not single plane carb intakes that flow wet and benefit from spinning the charge and spacers.

Can I break it down for you? Hot air means not-so-dense air. Not-so-dense air means there is not as much air going into each cylinder as there could be. Not enough air going into the cylinders means that not as much fuel can be combined with that not-as-much air. Not as much air and fuel as there could be in the cylinder results in not as much air/fuel ignited as possible. That means that not as much power will result from the combustion of each cylinder. Not as much power from each cylinder means that not as much power overall goes thru the transmission. Not as much power goes thru the transmission means that not as much power reaches the rear wheels.
Do you catch my drift?
