...make sure you get the "electric" supercharger too...

It's a rip-off IMO. Save your cash!

you're talikng about a plenum spacer. yes, many of us have one. i paid $246 for mine. it's a Motordyne 5/16." it seems to be the popular one here so i went with it. the alternative (skunk spacer) was still over $200. not sure what the difference in quality is between the two but you always get what you pay for. i'd be wary.

I haven't. Did he say what it was for? I assume to dissipate heat.Did he say how much HP it was good for? I would be very leary.Does he also sell the tornado?

i would assume it would be to let more or colder air in and he said it gave his Z about a 5hp gain

I've heard good and bad...All your really doing with this part is extending the TB. The supposed rifling effect from the cutout shape is unproven. I think you should look into suspension parts next, or save for FI.

I agree with Joe.Seeing the way it has been grooved reminds me of the tornado effect.I would want to see some good dyno results before buying into this.
