what are you looking for a paperweight for your desk?

wait.. just thought of something.. could throw on a couple if you have a body lift and then you won't have to relocate your CAI...

hmm smart me.

Well if it's a spacer you're looking for, it's a spacer I got. I originally picked up my jet spacer 'cause I just love the looks of anodized stuff and I thought it would dress up my engine. Unfortunately, she didn't work with the supercharger. If you want it, it yours 'cause, unless it's for decoration, it's useless.

I am not a believer in throttle body spacers,
and used to totally dismiss them,
but a few months ago I was talking over lunch
with a active Toyota engineer and a retired GM engineer
who told me that one of the 'unique' things about the Chrysler V8s
of recent years it that Chrysler has put in much larger 'plenum' volumes
that other automakers have chosen.

Once I heard this
I paid more attention
and they seem to be right,
the plenum volumes of
the 'beer barrel' Magnum intake,
the MPI aftermarket intake
the stock plastic 5.7 Hemi intake,
and the aluminum 6.1 Hemi intake
all GREATLY differ in size.

Hughes Engine has certainly played around with filling in volume of Chrysler V8 with epoxy.

Increasing the plenum volume doesn't much affect the peak horsepower in the higher than 4000 rpm range,
but it does seem to shift the torque curve around in the 1500-3500 rpm range
by affecting the 'reversion' of gases backward up the intake port into the intake manifold.
It may also affect how the EGR gases get mixed and spread.
