100% optional on Stage 2. Mind you, though, we're tracking IATs after compression, and we're running damn near ambient. He did a good job on his intercooler selection, whatever it is.

This all said, every ounce of heat MGMT is a good idea IMO. In fact, I am using the same sticky heat mat y'all are using to wrap the bottom of my stock intake manifold before it gets swapped over, just because it seems logical to do. I was initially also looking at the spacers for whatever performance gains they referenced, but they haven't responded to my requests for details, so I'm out on these, for now, until I need to upgrade the stock manifold.

For anyone running W/M, have that flippin' "recommended" solenoid installed!! 120 is a cheap investment to avoid my lessons learned.

 

I haven’t installed NOS or WM before and assumed they were something like 1/4” NPT fittings. The spacer material thickness would definitely be a concern for me and making sure it would seal. I appreciate the pointers.

And FOR SURE I would get the recommended solenoid..

 

And the Snow solenoids are $73...always have a filter installed, number one reason the check valves/solenoids fail=hydro lock.

 

IMO the solenoid is not optional. I did a quick test to compare the tank level vs the intake. Here is a video I posted that has all the install details including that test.

You got that right.
I was in Seligman AZ last year at the route 66 fun run..
I was in line at the loud engine contest with the mustang..134db..
I turned on the nitrous bottle ( was going to hit the purge and spray it over the windshield.. Like fast and furious.
The spray lights up at night too)

When I turned the bottle on it filled the intake scoop with nitrous..
The NoS solenoid turned out to be broken inside and stuck open ..
It's a 300 shot...
