Dear Sir, thank you for your inquiry in our products. The spacer makes no HP on the Dyno. It makes all of it's power in torque in the low end. If you haven't noticed any power on the Dyno or the track then it's doing what it's supposed to. You would not see any gains down the 1/4 mile or increases on the Dyno. The idea of the spacer is to improve overall drivability and fuel mileage. In most cases when people install a bolt on part they expect better mileage and power, what happens is they are into the throttle a lot more than before trying to test performance and that's when the decrease in mileage happens.

Sincerely,

<Airaid Technician>
Have you ever heard such a bunch of contradictory rubbish? The "Dyno" show no increase in "HP," but apparently you can now increase your torque without the dyno even noticing it. We should also have known that increases in low end torque don't help in the 1/4 mile either.

step away from the over priced aluminium paper weight. take it from first hand experience here that the only thing that POS will do is empty your wallet.

makes a nice paper weight for your desk. or like some people has said its good for putting your nitros nozzles in it. so when you want to take it out. just have to remove the spacer.

If you can machine the injector holes, assuming the spacer is thick enough, you could probably make the whole thing yourself. The only thing a spacer is good for on a Magnum engine would be to give room for some custom fuel rails.
