t.b spacers aren't worth anything...

it just a market rip-off like the tornado thingy you put before the throttle body

Juggalo_X · November 9th, 2007, 01:09 PM

junk IMO and its been proven

scubasteve041186 · November 9th, 2007, 08:28 PM

so when would we want one then? they have to make it for some reason

They make the car sound "whirrly". I had a jackass tell me once that it would add 30 hp or something like that. I was like "your such a dickhead".... then I bought the wing to add 40 hp!

Throttle Body spacers were originally made for older cars, when they installed bigger TB's the butterfly would sometimes hit the side of the upper intake and not allow the TB to open all the way. So the spacer was used to add space for the bigger butterfly.
