    I made a spacer to increase plenum volume many moons ago.
    Was built out of marine ply coated with silastic and worked like a champion.
    Used the lid to trace a template.

    Could feel the difference, but no tune or dyno runs were done.

    Go with the mace product. Its made of somekind of industrial plywood like material and it will stop the plenum from soaking up so much heat. Cooler Air temps = moar power.
