Dont waste your money. They dont add any power, and they create a "whistling" sound at certain rpms. I had one...pulled it off within a week.

You may want to try a performance throttle body. Edelbrock and bbk both make them. They don't cost that much more than a spacer.

I said it would help a lot but I may have to go back on that...the only power numbers I have been able to turn up so far are 7hp on a stock engine. Up to 15 and more at higher power levels...whatever that means.
