Basically, it's a way to maximize the airflow into the throttle body - every little bit helps.

The original thread is here (it's mixed in with a couple of other mods):

Yeup, that's the one.

Actually, I have a suggestion and an option for you. Suggestion first...

If you have a Dremel tool (or a sharp knife like an X-acto) then you can cut out the gasket that you have now to be a full circle. You'll note in that thread that Todd ("TOR") says that theu doi that in the shop instead of waiting to get gaskets in on order.

Or... I ended up with a spare gasket from the group buy that Christian did in that thread. I paid $5 for it including postage (like everyone else in the thread) and it's yours for that same amount. PM me with your snail address if you're interested and I'll drop it in the mail. You can send me $5 when you get the gasket.

I don't think that the specifc gasket we're using on out 3.4L V6's will fit on your V8.

None-the-less, the gasket has thus been spoken for. Sorry!
