i sure did! i can really feel a difference in the top end response. almost like it wants to keep pullin'. EGT's are down about 200 degrees as well. one thing i'm confused about right now is upon start-up, it idles about 200RPM lower than usual but after running for a few seconds, the RPM will bump up to normal, on it's own and without me even touching the pedal. any of you running the spacer experience this or is it only me?? other than that, it was well worth the money for the spacer!

Anyone have any thoughts that could explain the low idle at start up? I'm guessing it has to do with timing cuz if I hold the RPMs up around 1200, it runs a little rough.

Well that took about 30 minutes out of my life. It's in and working. Mine is idling a little slower also. But that's OK, it was idling a little fast before. Winter will tell the tail. Mine will idle really slow when real cold to the point of dieing if I don't hold some throttle. I need a fast idle kicker.

Well my guess was wrong cuz this morning when I started it, it was idling at 700. And after about 10 or 15 seconds, the RPMs came up to 750. Seems odd that it's doing it on it's own but it must be due to the added timing from the spacer.

I lost ground. I lost a third of my boost 20 down from 30 and a corresponding loss of power. My EGTs are lower though.
