so i finally go around to finishing the project i started a few months ago lol. i got my throttle body spacer and CAI all finished i went the cheap route to get rid of the "hemi hat" i just went to home depot and got some black pvc and drilled a hole in the elbow for the air temp sensor and it works like a charm i can already tell the difference between the old and new. here are some pics http://s324.photobucket.com/albums/k...ck%20pics/CAI/

 

i don't want to be the first one to say this but i guess i am..........throttle spacers really don't do anything except its a great feel good part

 

actually i notice a nice increase in response time idk about the gas mileage yet havent had it on long enough. but i like it

 

Damn dude....good job on the CAI. I've always like the Volant airbox but hated that they left the silencer in there....you have the best of both worlds now .

As far as the spacer, on a wet manifold (Carb, TBI) they do work because the fuel is added before the spacer. Most modern engines like the Hemi are dry manifold...meaning they're port injected of some type. So the spacer doesn't do anything for the air/fuel mixture...and the "air spiral" most spacers claim is useless too. The intake manifold has so many twists and turns before it reaches the heads that any "spiral" will be gone.

 

It may increase low end torque a minute amount by making the intake runners theoretically longer on the EFI, but not enough to notice. The gains are from removing the HemiHat.

 

ya i had a tb spacer , and didnt like the whistling sound too much. people also were telling me i probably just lost 5 hp , so i took it off now its for sale. and i now im going to order a 70 mm throttle body here in a week.

 

Man! That look's great! Good job!

 

thanks guys... yeah i was wondering about that whistle sound lol... but it doesnt bother me too much at this point and i spent the money on it and put the work in to put it on so its gonna stay on lol. but we will see i might get annoyed with the noise but we will see.

 

Devildg84. What schedule and lengths did you use? The Volant just came in today and install was a breeze, I'd like to get rid of the resonator also.

Side note, Semper Fi. 2nd Recon Bn. at CHB. Are you still active?

 

might not be the plac efor it, but thank you to both of you!
