"gains of 18-22rwtq and 12-15rwhp between 2500-4000 rpms"
those claims are a bit unbelievable. my spacer is 1/2" and i only got 6-7 torque across the band, and all i have is a cat-back.

i thought that was too, but the price is worth an extra 5-7 (the $100 price that is) .....

My car is a '98 GT with a '99 complete engine (bone stock motor). The spacer was $110 from Need for Speed in clearwater, and includes the spacer, bolts, the spacer for the 5th bolt, and a Ford Gasket. (i ran the tests on the first one he made). The peak improvements weren't all that, it gained 3 ft lbs and it actually lost about 1hp at the top, but both curves were much flatter, and it gave it more grunt on the bottom end.
