you might give it a little better atomization of fuel, and boost your rpm range in the very very slightest. some say there is a low end torque increase from increased velocity and atomization. all opinions are varried, i've never heard anybody say anything bad about them. mainly spacers are used for fine tuning an already well tuned engine. go for it, dont spend too much money however, because the anygains will be slight. hope you wouldnt expect much from such little work.


the reason this was reposted is because some people seem to think that they are too important or busy to read or answer a post they have seen before. sorry to say people, that is sad when you will take the same amount of time to flame somebody for posting, as it would have taken to actually write a helpful response.

not everybody here is a veteran. lets be a little more helpful and a little less judgemental.

thanks.
the moderating staff.

another side note to idrag2, another post as such before, and i will recomend against you staying a moderator.

Can't blame me I haven't been around in forever. But if I would have seen the post I would have said something man, there are some d*ckheads on this board that think they know everything and that anyone that doesn't know what they know are stuipd or inferior to them. Oh well, people like that everywhere in life. Got to deal with it. Anyways, I agree with what Nic said, when I did mine I didn't get to much from it. So don't expect anything amazing from it. And it didn't really change the way my car ran.

Come on now this isnt a life lesson here, most everyone on this board has to agree with me that post is answered almost everyday, i just think its stupid cluttering the boards with 20 of the same questions,
and by the way i answered this question like a few days earlier before i made that post to Idrag 2. I guess looking on the message board before posting a message is to much effort, but then again, I cant say I haven't made the same mistake, call me a hypocrite?

hypocrite.

heheeh, no im not trying to say this is a life leason. ive just recently seen a lot of newbies being treated roughly, and i think we should at least be polite when we tell them, "dude, didnt you read the boards be fore you posted!!!!!?"



and i too, at one time, was flamed, by guess who, pablo for posting something already on the boards. i think it was june '97
