I just bought my first SRT-8 and this looked a little funny. It the red colored thing sandwiched between the air cleaner and the throttle body a factory piece? What is it?

I have a 2006 and I just looked and it doesn't have that red thingy. Looks like some kind of spacer to me. Maybe a performance mod?

 

Holy <beep!>!!

I found it! Check it out: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

It's an Airaidthrottle body spacer!

Man, I wonder what else I'll find that this PO did??!

 

I called it! ...by me a beer now.

I wonder if that little thing really makes a difference?

 

I did some searching for "throttle body spacer review" and found about 90% of folks say it's a joke. Then I found two dyno tests that proved about 5-10 hp gain.

Answer: hard to tell, depends who you believe. I doubt it does much if anything. Maybe it's just the loss of wallet weight that helps performance!

Oh well, I'm sure it doesn't hurt anything.

 

you still need to buy OldCrow_USAa beer, he called it.......
