intake spacers? shaving heads?

[MidnightCarving]

making a list of work to do to my 2.0 this year, last year when i rebuilt i cleaned up all the casting flash inside, eased the exhaust, and installed some CCMS reeds....

i'm considering adding an intake spacer this year, but i don't know much about them. Also will be shaving the heads, how much should i take off? its a 92 135.

opinions? advantages, disadvantages, how does it work/what does it do?

thanks all!

Tha only disadvantage wit tha spacer iz SPACE'IN...Sumtimes tha extra inch will put ya airbox aginst tha front ov tha mota cover...Tha spacer iz only bottom/midrange, and the amount ov gain varys from engine to engine!!.....Shave'in tha heds iz a good increase in torque, BUT tha factors ther are tha kinna fuel U wanna run...wit our economy tha way it iz, tha stock (120#s) ov compression iz better for tha wallet, kuz U kin burn regular gas....Az of power increase, shave'in heds iz tha best bang for tha buck!!...145#s iz a good number, but ya gotta run 93octain gas!!!....If ya do a lot ov ride'in...120#s and a spacer iz tha ticket...If ya hot rodd'in a small bote, they tha spacer and cut tha heds....JMO
