they make them for LS trucks and it looks like it would work on our cars.

Go for the prayer that TNRAT offered. He'll probably do it for a little less than 50.

I heard if you use a bunch of smooth couplers end to end the power is multiplied. Get like 5 of them and you can hang with the procharger guys! The spacer would be icing on the cake. Also if you wrap them in fake carbon fiber vinyl it reduces the wieght in your engine bay to maintain perfect 50/50 balance! It would be like Vtec Yo!

Probably get more out of doing a throttle body coolant bypass mod. I did the mod to mine when I had the intake manifold off, and it's nice not having the throttle body at 200+ deg F all the time. Also keeps the intake manifold cooler during around town driving.
