    I put a Bass. cat back on the week I bought the Mach. Then a couple months later I picked up an O/R H-pipe.
    I thought you had replaced the stock exhaust, I just didn't see it in you sig, so I had to comment.

    All runs made on a dyno jet in the middle of the desert
    Weather conditions: 96 degrees, 28.79 in-Hg, humidity 12%
    SAE correction factor: 1.05

    These are N/A only runs, no bottle

    First run with no tune changes: 288.56 torque 272.74 hp at the wheels

    After retuning: 301.18 torque 282.50 hp at the wheels

    Then added a composite spacer: 302.84 torque 282.94 hp at the wheels

    I thought the spacer would help in the mid range, but it didn't really add any power at any RPM range, remember this is an automatic Mach. Don't get me wrong I love the spacer, and on 5 speed Mach we tested earlier in the week it added about 12ftlb and 10hp across the mid range. It just didn't add anything to my auto Mach, which is fine I added it more as a safety net. I'm hoping in the event of a nitrous back fire it will blow the spacer out, instead of turning my intake into a "pipe bomb". LOL I would recommend the spacer to anyone it is worth the money one way or another.
    which spacer was it and where did you get it?

    I'll take a guess and say that it was probably a phenolic intake spacer courtesy of Roy from the Registry. If that's the case, it's a nice little piece to have for 100 bucks.

    I thought so, it's nice though mine has been sitting here on my desk since last week. Have not had the time to throw it on and didn't want to do a rush job because of the EGR tubing. Shouldn't be too big of a PITA if I take my time with it and don't get frustrated. I've never enjoyed EGR connections...they always want to give me hell.
