I see your point, I just did not associate "wave tuning" with plenum volume,
and I am not sure that a tb spacer adds plenum volume.
Any who, even if what they say is true, one increase offsets the other so it
still seems neutral...glug, glug...

Article also says: "Ram charge wave tuning is stronger resulting in more
mid-range torque (6lbft) and top-end power (3hp)."
I'm going on the assumption that the manifolds benefit from the larger
plenum, and adding a TB spacer would increase the plenum size. For all
I know the two manifolds may be radically different and this doesn't
apply. Anyway, Senor Barnes, I shall bow to your AMC knowledge and
distilled water.
