Here is a graph of stock vs sock + 5/16 spacer.
Enjoy that 2 HP / 1 ft-lb

That is a small enough difference that it could be chalked up to a dyno inconsistency.

Yep.
The source I got the graph from did 5-10 runs stock and 5-10 with the spacer and picked the best of each. The variance just from stock vs. stock was well about 2 hp.

you know even if you boost its recommended to use the spacer.

i got the copper iso

perhaps it will help, but spending how much on 2 hp? doesnt seem worth it. Like Sopranos said, a CAI and tune on an 05+ mustangs nets near 30HP sometimes.
Those spacers are what, $150-$200?
If I paid the same price per hp for my cai/tune it would have been 3 grand...
IMO its a huge waste of money.

you wanna see performance gains? sell the car and pick up a mustang/camaro, where a cai and tune will net you 40hp not 4 lol

No.

Then go forced induction. Nothing else will be worth the cost.

Or LSX swap. There are kits but idk the price.
