I read some good info about a guy who used a 3/4 smooth bore spacer and repeatedly got about a 3 horsepower increase. Seems like a sound idea to me. It's not about swirling...I am just interested in seeing if the increased plenum volume makes a difference. It doesn't look like UMIPerformance makes one. I saw a company makes a swirler for our engines, but those really are crap IMO.

We do actually make one for the LS1, however I will not put it on the market until I run it on the dyno. I myself am not to sure what it would do, so we will see as soon as we get a chance. If by chance there is some gains we will most likely market it with and with out a Nitrous port like DMNSPD mentioned. I'll try to get this test run done soon and post some results.
