The 3/8" it is a solid 20 rwhp and 25 plus rwtq backed up by 5 shops in different climates and different parts of the country and different dynos so thats excelent gains for the $.

You can use either brand together with good results.

I've been buying things because of people on here recommend them.
From Jay @ port city(velocity-mace) I ordered the stage 4 ported im instead of just the stage 3. vmax icolater, vmax plenum spacer, and the ported throttle body from rx.
generally speaking, what kind of gains should I expect? I know not every car is the same/mods kinda cancel each other out on max gains compared to a stock car, etc.

If I'm not mistaken, you conducted tests on your 1" and 3/8" product correct? Because hapisok conducted an independent test and it showed more lower tq on the mace and a little more higher end hp on the vmax. Certainly didnt see a 15hp drop on the mace though. It pulled all the way to redline just like the vmax

The mace 1" spacer didn't really fit my needs for a few reasons: didn't feel much of any kind of gains in the low rpms, and I have a manual so I thought it would be more noticeable, secondly paired with the plenum spacer, the rear bolt rattled the $hit out of my cowl no matter how tight I tightened it, thirdly with the 3/8" spacer I can still keep my engine cover with modification and lastly I like all of my mods are in the mid-upper rpm's

The strut brace is tight with a 1".

I just went with the 1" because of the low end gains. I feel like this car is pretty decent on the top end already so I wanted low end to get this thing going. I never did the plenum spacer because I never saw any gains behind it and I saw a few of the problems with install some people were having so I decided to not spend the money on it. I'd love to try the 3/8" one day but I've never been able to bring myself to spend the money for the exact same mod

Does anyone else get really poor gas mileage or is it just me? I reset the computer and drove highway to Atlantic City and it was reading 17.1. Also, I have 2500 miles on the car since my last oil change and the computer also says I have 12% life left. I usually change it every 3500-4000 but the life is never that low.

That's very low for highway. I get near 30 with cruise control on.

As far as the OLM, did they reset it when they changed the oil?

Could it be bad winter gas?

[Botoasy]

Yea I reset it myself, cause I change my own oil.

I would definitely have it checked out. Something isn't right with that.

My gas mileage was horrible. Like 14mpg driving like a granny. Harder I drove it. Better the mpg. Don't know how but it worked. Probably seated the rings better


And for those who have Xbox, halo 4!! Couldn't sleep last night. Played til 6am lol
