So I have two questions?? I have a holley systemax 2 and it gets screaming hot!! So I bought a trick flow spacer 1". Is this going to help reduce my intake temp and by how much temp is it going to drop (roughly)? And am I going to notice any HP/TQ differences good or bad?

Also going to replace my clutch with???? I hear so much this and that but everyone seems to be a mechanic now a days!!! So I'm just wonder what clutch everyone on here recommends and if I should buy a lightened flywheel and how light should I go???

I have a 86 coupe with a 92 motor afr heads cam and holley intake. Injectors fuel pump long tube headers etc. it put down 300whp and 310wtq but I think I was kissing power BC of my clutch??

Not sure about the spacer but have read that it doesn't do much as far HP/Torque. Adding the 1" spacer may give you clearance issues unless you have a raised cowl hood.

I just changed my clutch to a Spec Stage 1. Works great and no issues yet. It's not too hard on the foot/leg when pressing the clutch in, kind of feels like the stock one.

Hmmm I thought trick flow spacers have an off set? Instead of inline like holly.
