    I've seen several ads for throttle body spacers and have been wondering if they actually do anything on a relatively stock SRT8. The ads seem to claim that it boosts low-end torque. Anyone know the truth??

    :thanks:

    A few guys had them on (1FST4DR and Markus). They ended up using them for target practice.

    Now wait...they do something.
    Some of them do make a nice whistle noise...and they take up space.

    Spend your money elsewhere and you'll be much happier. I hate seeing money spent on the wrong mods.

    It's good to see you're doing your homework!
