Dodge Magnum: throttle body spacer

I saw this, and am wondering if it really does anything noticeable.

I used them on my old small and big block chebbies, but not on fuel injection. My main curiosity would be in fuel economy. Has anyone used one, and if so, what were your impressions?



On another note, anyone witha Charger or Magnum getting anywhere near the 17 city, 25 hiway mileage that Dodge claims they should get?



Comments appreciated, but let's please stay on topic.



Thanks

Has anyone seen this?

What are some good power upgrades for this engine? Thanks

The throttle body spacer does nothing but lighten your wallet. We have a Charger R/T in the shop right now getting headers and a cold air intake installed. We'll know tomorrow if there are any seat of the pants power improvements. The guy did not want to change the exhaust, so I doubt we'll see much of a change.

I had one on my 05 magnum I bought used along with a jet stage 2 chip. It helped but not like the same money applied to your diesel truck would have. LOL



I wouldnt pay full price for one if i were you.
