Spacer ring on throttle body
Will removing the spacer ring when putting and open element air cleaner on boost performance? And will non-drop base cleaners fit without the spacer?

I run a raised one, it clears the throttle linkages. if you can get rid of that spacer do it.

well its directs the air around the injectors better. They sell "salad bowl" made by hypertech called the powercharger which basically unshrouds the injector, when I went to an open element design it basically did this same thing so I discarded the powercharger. when I originally installed the powercharger it seemed like the car was sucking in more air, but I also did a flow thru top at the same time. (this was all on the stock air cleaner assembly. Now I run a KN Xtreme flow setup.

Oh ok, I'll probably just tame the ring off and if the cleaner fits then i'll leave it like that
