Also, let me know when you take delivery of the car because I would love to nag you about oil temps. and how they have changed
The purpose of the spacers is to allow for the different sized turbo housings from Stage 1 all the way through Stage 6. They are small...I think it spaces the engine only 1/4" or a tad better. It will not affect the CG of the engine in the least. This is why I saw it as a non-factor for my build.

As far as oil temps go...Sam assures me that his oil cooler will suffice. I hope he is right. If not, I have a backup plan...though Sam doesn't like it! *haha*
