Default throttle body spacer and CAI

I bought a cold air intake on ebay just now. I was wondering if anyone out there has a throttle body spacer? and if they do anything? my brother had one on his hemi and it use to whistle. i love that whistle, he hated it and got rid of it..but do they actualy increase horsepower? please let me know..thanks

No, not on you truck. i found this out after i installed one on my 5.2, the only way it would help anything is if you had a TB with the injector in it.

basically it is supposed to be mixing the air and fuel better and if the fuel doesnt enter the systems until after the TB, the spacer is useless.

so it would work if you had a late model injector/intake? My '95 has the injector right in the TB instead of injected in the manifold.

The '95 3.9 and 5.2 are both multiport injection, not throttle body injection. I'm not sure what the 2.5 is. Throttle body spacers do nothing on the magnum engines (92+), it would do better as a paperweight.
