throttle body spacer does nothing for our engines since we are multi port injection

mod your throttle body to 50mm all the way through. Fix plenum and replace with new aluminum belly pan on intake mainfold and cut your runners in your intake mainfold

If you are into collecting expensive paperweights, nothing beats the throttle body spacer.

I've experienced that a cold air intake will not fit RAMs with a throttle body spacer. If it were me i would go with a cold air more than a spacer! thats what i did

I have a quick question. With the way the factory intake is made, isn't it already a cold air intake?
