Is this just a figment of his imagination or is it true and has anyone tried it on a celi?

You want the airflow to be smooth and fast, but most importantly you want it to carry momentum so that pressure waves force air into the cylinder. Lengthening the plenum with a TB spacers will help with this

Lengthening the plenum with a TB spacers will help with this Well said!! A friend of mine who had a 3rd gen 3sge, installed an intake plenum spacer on his engine and he claimed the same. Not so much power but way better throttle response and a bit more top end. Actually there is/was a member on here that sold them a while ago.

It would help make the intake charge a little cooler and denser. I have one on my carbureted truck, its sometimes called a phenolic(?) spacer. But I think the same principle applys for the Throttlebody as it does for a carburetor

I mean just saying nto sure if this makes that much of a difference to make it worth your time.
