well I flushed my coolant put the spacer on from the advertisement on the top of the board which I will say came with everything I needed good instructions and came rather quickly....my TB isnt as hot anymore to the touch I wish I woulda done it yesterday before I went to the track to see if it gained anything....anyone else done this, you guys see any gains in the cooler weather? cause its kinda hot outside now so I dont expect to see too much ;)

I just did mine yesterday too! I just had a very spirited drive and afterwards, I could just lay my hand on the throttle body no problem. Very cool to the touch. Intake was very hot. Throttle Response and overall performance was great even when the engine got near 210 degrees in traffic. This mod is a definate must have! Thanks DEE97GTP!

did you drain all of your coolant first or just kinda let it splash out?....I guess I did a little overkill changing everything...for only 23k but I figured why not heh ;) .....oh ya thanks dee ;)

Yeah, it's only 3/8", but he'sprobably could've come real close to an inch. At least he could've on my car, and I have the crooked intake plenum.<b>1998 Firebird 3800 Series II, A4</b><br />Direct-Flo Lid,K&N Filter,DEE TB Spacer,TPS-TEC,ZZP Mini-AFC,Raised and Cutout Airbox 7mm,BMR STB & Boxed LCAs,KYB AGX Shocks,Drilled/Slotted Rotors,180* Thermo,2.5\" Catco Cat,Dynomax 2.75\" custom catback,Kumho Ecstas/245,Jet Stage 2,3.42,Edge Racing 2870 Stall,B&M Tranny Cooler,B&M Deep Tranny Pan,LSD,AAM Girdle,1LE DS,NX Wet Kit,MSD DIS-4,MSD Blaster Coil Packs,Taylor Spiro Pro 8mm Wires,NGK TR6\'S gapped .045,ZZP UD WP Pulley,SLP Fan Switch,TT II\'s<br />N/A: 15.6342 @ 88.44 (On stock converter.
