think of them? |

What they do is change your throttle and kickdown cable geometry to make it feel like you have more power. Same effect can be had by gluing a block of wood to your shoe. Originally spacers were there to separate the carb from engine heat and provide a denser charge. Pointless in throttle bodies and fuel injection. Flow is king. Open the intake and exhaust. port and polish the head. or just do what I do and cram air down the engines throat. :) If you have a 4cyl you could use the I6 throttle body with modifications but don't get a bored out 4.0 TB, it will flow too much air and lean out your engine. -- -- DougW -- 93 ZJ 4.0 http://members.cox.net/wilsond HESCO Supercharger - 300W IASCA Stereo - Edelbrock IAS Shocks Gibson Exhaust - rear DCpower - custom gauge install - Stillen Rotors Banks Header - and BEER, in the fridge! |

Re: Throttle body spacers
Do you think the manufacturer would pass up the chance to supply you with
extra horsepower when all it takes is an extra bit of scrap metal ? If they worked they would be ... part of the throttle body... wait, you already have one !
