Don't know if it helped me, hurt me, or just allows more noise to escape. Looking at the cut away photos of the engine again, it is a long way down through the throttle body to the valve. With the stock runner that is there, it may already be 14 inches total with the throttle plate near the middle. I will have to stick a piece of wire down in there to measure.
