They make good paper wieghts....aside from that they will gain you no HP. Many report a "cool" whistling noise, whistling noises are not cool, they eqate to turbulance and you wont find any increase in cfm from turbuance and possible decreases!

I bought one, but its only going to kick in one I get a larger throttle body and Edelbrock manifold. Yep, waste of $, sve for a new throttle body. 2X the price, but 10X the power.

I had one of those spacers. It was complete crap. It gained nothing, and would create this awful whirling sound. Thank, but no thanks. Save your money. Learn from my mistake!
