I've had a small crack for about 3 years, but it is only an inch or two long, and has not increased. It is not really noticable. Hope it stays that way.

My friend had a hydrogen setup on his truck and gained 2mpg maybe 3 when he drove it easy but when he drove normal it didnt make much of a difference, he ended up disconnecting it, said it wasnt worth the hassle.
This was done on a 97 SS/T 2wd lowered so I doubt you will see anything worth spending the money or time on.
If you dont already have gears or SCT you might want to look into that

cheap autolite plugs 3329 colder heat range (U may have the numbers mixed up)have been tested to show a 5-7 hp gain on the dyno actually. You can look in the sticky here about performance mods..... the throttle body spacer does work on some vehicles but our magnum motors because of the manifold design..

Reread what I said and what the poster said. We are talking 3-4 MPG gain, not 3-4 HP gain.

Spark will not add hp.Think about it before you say it.Spacer doesn't make any sense at all.
