Default throttle body spacers and other hop ups

Has anyone used a airaid throttle body spacer? Do they work?
are they worth the money? I am planning on a Gibson exhaust and either an airam or airaid intake (I havent decided). Has anyone tried the underdrive pulleys? Any differeance? Power programmers? Looking for easy horsepower.

TB Spacers only show a benefit at WOT. I guess if you drive around with it floored all the time you will get a couple of HP out of it.

TB spacers do not work. Carb spacers do.

What he said

Your best bet is to go with a programmer. Most have seen little to no difference with intakes and exhaust. Even the superchips doesn't offer a great amount of HP like for the other brands. Dodge really did thier homework when designing and tuning the Hemi.

Hmmm, 450-500 to gain as much HP as a riding lawnmower. Not worth it IMO......

Exactly why mine is still stock. That's a lot of gas that I can pump into my truck, especially since I drive it very easy most of the time.

I was thinking the same thing,My truck is pretty quick as it is,I dont have any problems making a friends chebby ss AWD look ashamed,so i think i'll leave it as is for now.Being a single cab helps out alot with the weight,but I would like to go from the 20 in wheels to the 17's to take better advantage of the gears

anybody have a set of aluminum 17's for sale?

I have the Mopar cold air intake and so far all it does is make a groaning nosie from 1/4 throttle on. Really don't care to much for it. My MPG is 13.8 combo and the truck is 1500, QC Hemi, 4x4 with 6000 miles
