Default Re: WTB - Plenum insulator plates

Principal Advantage: Thermal insulator for plenum, to impede heat soak from the engine
Other Advantage: Marginal increase in air circulation under plenum, aids in cooling of plenum & DIS Module.

Disadvantage: 1/4" spacers frequently result in intake contact with underside of hood.
Disadvantage: Requires some bending of vacuum line to PCV top connector.
Disadvantage: requires 2 sets of plenum gaskets. & longer bolts
