i have to use a 3/8 spacer on my intake for me to be able to fit my adjustable FPR in there.

I was just wondering how much does this lower the peak HP?

thanks,
mike

It raises the hp due to the spacer providing a "cooler charge." At least that is what the manufacturs claim. I dont think it lowers hp???

If i'm incorrect please correct me but don't you lose hp and gain some torque due to the increased runner length?

Either which way the increase or decrease is so small that it dont matter. They are more for clearance issues and such.
