We just concluded testing on our WERKSracing LNF/LHU Phenolic Spacer set on Kyle's 2012 Buick Regal GS and the results speak for themselves! +11whp gain +1ftlb TQ gain - 73(F) degree drop in Intake manifold surface temperature! Kyle's Beautiful Regal GS - Before Phenolic Spacers immediately after dyno pull- After Phenolic Spacers immediately after dyno pull - Before and after results - Purchase the WERKSracing Phenolic Spacer set for $144.99 here - http://www.performanceautowerks.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=334_419_421&products_id=1880 |

Impressive were any other changes made? --Christian |

I ask because I have a set already and was planning to do the install this weekend. The numbers look good but I would have expected them inverse. I would have expected the longer runner length to yield a 10lbs/ft torque and a 1hp improvement... That's about what you see on most 5.0 Foxes with the same type of part. Hmmm... Longer runner marginal torque lower temps better HP.... I need to test this! |

The pulls where done on two different days, wonder if there is an atmospheric variable. |

Not to rain on anyone's parade - but in the Mustang world these have proven largely useless for anything other than adding a little (and in this case - very little) runner length / port volume. After a time all parts under the hood tend to assume a fairly similar temperature, even with spacers over 1". I see no reason why these should be any different - but I'm certainly interested to hear what others think. I'd like to see a car dyno'd both before and after an install when driven for 30 minutes on a summer day immediately prior to the pull. My experience (again, based on accounts of dozens of Mustang owners) tells me it will be net zero difference. |
