I have the st220 intake and some 1/2 inch steal spacers. The intake is still hitting the COP on the back valve cover (2005 engine). Can anyone tell me what am I missing?

Thanx.
 
You can't run that intake manifold and the 2004+ valve covers with COPS i don't belive
 
I was under the impression it would clear the COPS with the spacers... (thus the need for the spacers) Is this not correct?

Tell you what bud. I ran cops on my full 3l for about seven months. And then switched back to the coil pack. There was a major difference in the performance. I didn't have a tune but much happier switching back.

Don't think anyone has done it on those valve covers, i could be wrong.

I think the only way you could maybe get away with it is if you switched to the plastic valve covers. (i wouldn't)

Beat me to it ;)

So yea spacers are needed to use the updated valve covers, not to use COP's. The updated valve covers provides an improved PCV system which is what I was after. If you want you could switch to the older valve covers and use the COP's with the spacers, but I'd advise against it.
