yeah but Bandit is running a higher gear ratio in 1st with 4.10's. I wouldn't do it with a stock geared t-5.

I will be installing new efi valve covers (FMS-M-6000-C302) partly because I want the stock hood back on it and I think the spacer is hurting me and possibly contributing to idle surge

I don't think you'll feel any difference after removing the spacer... unless it's leaking or something. In theory, it should just move your torque band a bit higher, but it would probably be only barely measurable on a dyno sheet.
