The spacers don't do anything unless you install nitrous nozzles into them. The CAI should be good for about 5-8 rwhp, but you could probably mod your stock airbox and get an air raid intake tube for less than the $90 that ebay auction is looking to get...

Well I have one on my motor and love it. As with all mods computer tuning may be necessary. Probably why Justin has tuned my truck 5 times.

Here is what I am running. yes it is a 1$ piece of press cut rubber. Someone was thinking.

Not sure what size the air raid tube is, but you can use 4" PCV and a silicone elbow and make your own 4" if you want.

I'm sure you gained at least 1 rwhp with that mod. Good call
