I have a trickflow street heat head/cam/intake kit, currently running a 1 inch spacer
I read long runner = more bottom end
short runner = top end
So i am increasing my runner by 1 inch with the spacer?

Should I get a smaller spacer like a 3/8 or maybe get a track heat?
i have 3.73 gears btw

I think you should just convince Wes to give you his S/C and done worry about the spacer. lol

Is 5/8th really enough to make that much of a difference?

It seems I read a thread on some other sight some time ago about someone claiming extra umph running a huge azz spacer but I can't remember if it was proven.......I run the 3/8.....and hit the blanket now.....

I'd not have a clue about any kind of accurate answer

I do wonder if you might see an increase in KG's of airflow with that
brand new Tweecer of yours if you .........

Did a WOT pull of your current combo for a baseline
and then
Remove the spacer to see the difference

I mean ... You ought to get some kind of good use out of the new toy
