just helped friend with a mod (not a vic)

well, just got done giving a friend of mine a hand in installing his power tower helix throttle body spacer on his 02 chevy 4.8 v8 silverado. Nice increase in power, supposed to give a little bit better gas mileage, and it sounds almost like a blow off valve for some reason. He does have an Air raid intake and before you couldnt hear it. Now that the spacer is in it whistles pretty damn loud. U can hear it over his flows. Anyway the reason i posted this is becuase:

On the power tower helix site, they had applications for 01 and up 1.7L sohc vtec AND non vtec spacers. This kinda should be in the parts forum, but i just thought I'd let some people know. they just might be intrested.

its at the bottom..... throttle body spacer.....meh

nobody probably cares.....i dont

How would they work on a civic? It looks like the intake elbow would hit the hood if it were raised up any farther.
