This, or that! Opinions please!

Have a couple hundred to work with, wanted some opinions from you guys, especially the already modded crew!

Should I go with........

Outlaw intake thermo spacers, or an Ingalls engine torque damper.....


Can't really make up my mind.........

My engine is still stock but i think i'd go with the dampener. Upgrade your pulleys if you can.

This is kind of what I'm leaning toward, but I need to clean my intake / EGR as well, so maybe the spacers......

This is a definite when I do my timing belt, probably gonna be in the next 10k or so.

The thermal spacer kit is 113. If you have a couple hundred you can get more than that if you want to.

Don't get the stiffy if you're still stock. Definitely get the Outlaw kit. It's pretty good bang for the buck.

Look at the purpose of the stiffy. It's made to minimize engine movement, which can help launches and limit wheel hop. Is wheel hop a problem with you're automatic stock engine? Doubtful.

$200.00 dead nuts.


Think I made up my mind though,

Torque damper.


*hear me out*


When you build a house, you don't just make walls and a roof, you build a solid foundation first. That's what I'm looking to achieve with this.

I really like the idea of helping save my motor mounts (I think I'm with AssClown on this one), seeing as when I bought the car a few months ago, I noticed it had a junkyard front mount on it......

Regardless, the spacer kit will be coming next, as the IM / EGR cleaning NEEDS to be done, I'm pretty sure it never got handled with previous owners.


Thanks for the opinions guys, I've learned a SHIT TON from all of you on this site!
