Thanks
Thanks
Put the money you would spend on the spacer toward a tuner. These days everyone seems to prefer the Edge although I am more than happy with the Predator.
In case you decide to go with the spacer remember they all make an annoying high pitched whistle under acceleration.
Many people will question the value of a spacer; nobody questions the value of a tuner.

Well I installed an Edge First, and i was running a 9.64 Avg 0-60 time
With a combination of a CAI and a TB spacer i am now running 9.04 Avg 0-60 and on a good day can dip just a hair into the high 8's
Not saying the spacer is worth the money because it does have a whistle (a loud whistle) that you will have to get use to or in my case just install to 1000 watt 10's and a 600 watt amp to override the noise. I just throwing some numbers out there for ya.

We need to remember that the companies that market spacers are not insignificant, disreputable companies. They seem to be doing dyno testing of their products and although their claims seem somewhat exaggerated, a little bit of improvement in torque could give you the opportunity to out run that smug little pr*** with the Hemi or pull through a tough spot where you might have got stuck.
BTW anyone else out there running a Green Performance filter?
If it helps any the Poweraid spacer is a pretty red color.

IF im not mistaken locally we had someone that installed the tornado and it caused serious problems with their motor because it caused the air to run to rich.. i believe that was the story on the news, it was a long time ago i could be wrong.
