Cobra Spacer Plate

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Sifrino3

It comes in 1/2" and 1" sizes. Whats your thought on these? It keeps the heat from coming to the upper intake while making the intake feel like its bigger then it is. If this is so. Why do we not get a spacer for our stock manifolds. Since it has more troubles keeping cool. The Cobra has no EGR spacer and our stock manifold does because it seems to get hotter. If you add a spacer. Maybe it will be a better way to keep cool. Anyways, that would be a cheap way to make HP!

I don't understand Ramsey. Is the plate that you mentioned for the stock upper intake?

Posted by: Sifrino3

It goes in between the upper and lower manifolds. Its so heat doesn't travel up to the upper intake manifold. Less heat means more hp. And if the manifold thinks its bigger. It will bring more air in. More air more power, so they say. . . I believe thats how it goes!

It's called a phelonic spacer. It keeps the upper intake cooler by sort of "seperating" it from the lower, coolant carrying, intake.

It does not make the intake think its bigger. It does make the runners a hair longer but don't expect any gains from that. I do not have experience with them but would bet there is more performance out of a k&n which is about the same price.

Now I understand.
Thanks guys.

I've heard mixed things, but mostly that they aren't really needed. When I did have my car running for the few minutes it lived, I noticed the Cobra intake gets hot as

, much hotter than the stocker. But with the spacer, I've heard that you might encounter hood clearance issues too, dunno though.

I run one 'cause I have to. It really does help cool the upper off between rounds.

1/2" size fits n/p

out of and now I have one for the Cobra Manifold.

You will not be able to make one designed for stock manifold work on a Cobra intake.

Posted by: Sifrino3

I have two spacers. One for the stock manifold and the other for the Cobra manifold. . .

Posted by: TuBBy

But why? Why one for the stocker? That tight ass piece of

isnt worthy! Junk it!

Posted by: Sifrino3

Why the fu ck not! Isn't worthy, Bull Sh it!

Gee, is this

first tiff???

Sorry sifrino the only way you are going to get the status quo to agree with you is to do your own dyno test and prove them wrong....good luck, you're going to need it!!!

Posted by: Sifrino3

Dyno run, timeslip. . . Maybe I could do it all in one night. Hmmm

Would have to be on a dyno...to many variables to judge from a timeslip!

Posted by: Sifrino3

I know this! When I go down to the track. Its this big party sh it. So, they got to have some kind of dyno hooked up!

Posted by: TuBBy

Do it...
