They make a real good paper weight but more or less useless on the Magnum engines due to the design of the intake manifold.

+1 on the paper weight, beings you have one, use it to mark your page in the Hayes manual.

Better yet, take it out back and prop it up on something, and see if you can shoot through it!

Use it as an X-mas gift for someone you don't care for very much.

Take the spacer, drill and tap a hole in it, thread in a nozzle, connect a hose to nozzle, connect other end of hose to nitrous bottle, done. Dont need no stinkin switches or anything. You want fast, turn **** on bottle fully open.

After this is done, come back and start a thread on how to do a motor swap, cuz you blew up this one.

Seriously though, throw it away.

Yeah, throw it away UNLESS you need it to properly fit and secure your CAI.
