What makes me think it won't be worth it on a sporty is the fact the air flow has to navigate a 180 degree turn to get into the engine, so what ever increase in air flow you gain by the spacer at the throttle body will be lost the second the air hits the 'wall'.


Okay, point taken. So I'll do one for my Dakota this summer. You're probably not familiar with it, but the 90s Magnum truck engines have intakes that are shaped like a roots blower housing. Air comes in at the top, goes all the way to the flat bottom, turns a sharp 90 degrees towards the cylinder heads and rather than going directly into the chamber, the intake runner takes the air along the outer wall of the intake up and around to the opposite cylinder bank. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> This straightens out the airflow eventually, but if a TB spacer can work on this, it might be worth a shot on our setup.

At the very least it'll give me something to do on my lunch break at work. Thanks for your input.

And to the immediately previous post, I'm not expecting diesel-type torque from this engine, but a little extra power off-idle never hurts.
