I have a hunch that the whistle that so obviously relates to.. how did you put it.. Turbulance into the airstream.. is in fact the air stream flowing through the Cold Air Intake.. as for performance I'm sure enjoying a substantial amount of low & midrange performance improvement from the stock setting.

I do really appreciate your offer to provide those high performance chrome gas caps, and as attractive as that sounds... the process of chroming materials puts a negative charge on the materials so treated. Now though it can be argued that this negative property might be able to benifit from the magnetic field of the earth, in fact it can only assist performance if travelling twards the magnetic north. Now as much as I typically travel in a South Easterly directing in the evening, and a North Westerly direction in the morning, I'm likely to have a marked decrease in overall performance, due to drag on the vehicle caused by the chrome gas cap.

Thank you anyway.

 

Dave,

Run a 1/4 time before you put it on... then after you do. I'd like to know how good these spacers are also. I have heard both sides from other areas of the forum too.

Also, let us know what programming you have, etc.

Did I mention that the CHROME GAS CAPS come with ionic harmonizers that negate the effect of hemispherical travel? I'm gonna put one on my car and you can put one of those Voodo black magic intake thingamabobs that whistle at all the passing ladies, and I am still gonna beat you in the 1/4 mile...

 

Boy that cleared everything up....[sm=confused06.gif]

why not try a bottle of 151? this will probally work to.[sm=alcoholic.gif]

We used to put moth ***** in our gas before heading to the strip . I don't know if the spacer adds much, but I don't believe it hurts either. Heck, a Ford tech wanted to know what size pulley I had on my supercharger . THAT alone is worth the price to me.

These are a spin of of the various devices on carbureted cars used to introduce more turbulence to keep the fuel droplets in suspension on their trip throught the manifold to the cylinders. These would also help with TBI (Throttle Body Injection) where the fuel is introduced into the airstream at the entrance to the manifold.

Since most of today's engines, the Chargers being in that group, have the fuel sprayed into the airstream at the entrance to the cylinder. The turbulence is no longer needed to keep the fuel "vaporized". As it has been pointed out, the turbulence hinders air flow which hinders performance.

One thing I see these devices doing is changing the RPM at which the Ram effect occurs. It lengthens the intake runner which makes this "Ram" effect occur at a lower RPM. This would give you better response at the lower end but nothing extra at higher RPM's. There are a couple of good articles about Ram intakes on the Chrysled 300 Club International web site (www.chrysler300club.com). Click on the Tech Department link and cruise through the tech articles listings for the two RAM articles. If you're up to it or are feeling masochistic, there is an article which does the math on how runner length impacts the resonance point at which the ram effect occurs.

Do they work or not? That depends on the individual car and the mods and where you need the power for your driving style. Everything you change affects the air/fulel mixture needs. That is why we would always set up the carb last. If you got the $100 to spare. why not give it a shot. If it helps you, it's money well spent. If not, you learned what didn't work for your car.

Those Chrome Gas Caps would go well with my 40 HP Chrome Valve Covers.
