I have a 20 Redeye and for some reason I decided I wanted to try the 1'' blower spacers on a "stock" Redeye.
They are a limited production run and by adding it on a stock vehicle it should help determine if they will make a difference or not.
I had regular spacers on my 16 manual car and it seemed to help.

Hope you're able to shut the hood. My blower rubs the hood insulation with just the regular spacers. 1" would cause clearance issues for sure.
Note they call them TRACKHAWK spacers for a reason.
My regular spacers did not rub the liner on my 16 model. Hopefully the snorkel hood has enough clearance.

I call 100% BS...notice in their photos they claim it to be 91* ambient, however the I/C coolant temp is only 30*, and in the other photo its 84* ambient, and the I/C coolant temp is 15*...I don't believe the hype
Can't comment on the 1" spacers but the standard spacers absolutely work.

No. I really don’t think they will clear the hood.
I tried to exchange them for regular ones and he declined to help me exchange them.
they are still sealed in shipping package.

do you have independent proof? As if your own photos showing the temperature difference
Yes 12F reduction in IAT temps. They've been posted here before.

Which can be the difference between a full power pull or not in a 18+ HC due an up to 4* of timing loss due to high IATs. Significant.

I'd like to see real world results...spacers only stay off the problem, heat will soak, it will soak all the way through...this has been proven many times. I know people like to claim good results however real world data proves otherwise. With that being said I'm glad you like your purchase. I have only expressed my opinion based on data and I am not to be considered an expert

Real world data proved they do work. I realize you joined this forum rather late but a few years ago, everyone was using the FI Interchiller spacers with lots of positive results. I'm sure if you search you can find plenty of posts about them. Unfortunately so many earlier forum members now have sold their Hellcat's or left for the other Hellcat forum or FB group and there's not that many people left here that have experience with them from what I've seen recently.

"Thermal conductivity ratings:

Aluminum 235
Iron 80
Wood 1.02
Phenolic Resin 2.01
Polymer(black plastic) 3.90

MDF/Wood Fiber Laminate would be the best insulating choice. "

I get it, but real engineers have tested this, no benefits have been found

Who are the real engineers? Thousands of people have tested them too and found benefits.

They use it in conjunction with their chiller, that’s why. I can tell you driving for hours with the spacers top of supercharger was cold to the touch
