it performs awesome but if you have the little insulator crap up under the hood it will rub on that. if you are going to run a spacer, plan on getting a cowl hood.

Thanks nick also what size is the opening at the neck of the intake. I took out all my insulator already and dont plan on running a spacer any time soon .

Cheers!

What is your combo? The RPM II is best suited for a higher RPM range. When I was EFI, I went for a different intake, but it better matched my heads and cam, so it made more power. Don't just say, OOOOOHHH I like that. Unless you want to have a sub par motor.

If you run tall valve covers it won't clear, and you'll need the spacer
