Torque Booster Tube?

Is this for real or is it similar to a throttle body spacer?

Have any of you guys actually seen how much these engines move around under the hood when under a load? I always prefer some sort of flexible connection to allow movement.

It actually does have a flexible connection on each end, those rubber boots.

Wondering if this tube has a hole in it for a stock CCV connection? Not that I want to go stock but I don't want a hole in the intake tract either.

No, but i've seen them move on the dyno. That's a good idea though.

Im still waiting to find a local dude to paint my heat extractor. It's just dead weight/money sitting in the shop in primer.

Boy would that throw off all the calculations for ram air ripple effect, and under hood ambients. I can hear the calculator humming now.

Sounds like its time to learn to paint, add another chapter to Kris' giant book of knowledge.

IDK maybe he's cheesed at us.

On another note, I did get an email from AMILLER93 (Alan) today, and he is fine, and to put only as Alan could "buisier than a one legged cat scratchin an a$$ contest" He went on to say that he should be settled down in a while and be back to the board.
