I realized that the A.I.R. block-off plates are the same size and shape as the restrictor plates so could I just buy a set of block-off plates and drill a restrictor plate hole in the middle?

AIR blockoff plate is the same size, but has no hole in it.

Restrictor plate has about a 5/16" (?) in the center.

They restrict the amount of pressure against the AIR valve from the better flowing headers, causing them to not "tick" and/or fail.

I got mine online from PACE performance, board sponsor, about $18 if I remember correctly. They have lasted through many header installs/uninstalls.
