    Where are you finding the IP spacer?
    There was a T.W. member making them with group buys and a long waiting line.

    Anderson Engineering makes one for the 3.5
    Finding mixed reviews and argumentative threads on those, too.

    These doodads and thingamajigs are a waste of time and money unless you want some different noises. If a $100 part could get more mpgs or performance, it would have been there from the factory.

    That was about the intake plenum spacer. I'm over that and looking at heated driveways now.:notsure:

    I hate to tell you this, but, I've gotten stuck way more since mods.

    .

    14 is a good haul. I notice that I start to feel weird after 10-12 without breaks. Splitting up a long drive with a sit-down meal helps a lot.

    Yeah, 2 weeks ago I drove straight from Madison to Keystone CO in one hop. 16 hrs. Slept 4 hours, then on to Prescott AZ. That wore me down

    I'm starting to think about making these Florida trips into more of a relaxing ride rather than an endurance test. Taking some breaks along the way makes it much easier, even if it adds time.

    It’s a damned long drive otherwise

    At least the drive through Atlanta is calming and restful.

    I hate Atlanta and Chicago so much that I'll gladly drive an extra 2 hours to avoid them,
