TB spacer on a modern Hemi will not improve any aspect of performance. It will make a cool whistle sound and that's about it.

It's great if you're planning to tap it for a nitrous nozzle, but completely useless otherwise.

He's right. This section ain't about engines or performance.

Thread moved.

I don't know if there are any negatives to running it.
Maybe someone else does and will chime in.
