 Subject: Cold air intake and tb spacer
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a Pace Setter cold air intake for 1997-02 dakota/durango V8 except 4.7 and a Street and Performance Electronics Helix Power Tower Spacer for dakota/durango 1992-02 forsale. I increased fuel economy by about 2 mpg on my 2002 rt. I sold my truck, so I no longer need these. The following is the specs on the tb spacer:
Hard to believe, but these innocent-looking carburetor/throttle body spacers can pull up to 20 extra horsepower out of your car, truck, or SUV. By raising your carb/throttle body height 1 in., the Power Tower spacers increase the velocity of air and fuel into your engine. At the same time, their spiral flow design creates an air flow vortex that improves fuel atomization and increases combustion.
------------------------------------------------
I will take $100 for both or $55 seperately plus shipping.

Now I'm just an old retired drag racer, but what happened to the intake runner length/cam duration/overlap relationship to intake air velocities?
"spiral flow design creates an air flow vortex"
...and what happens to that vortex during intake pulses?
"improves fuel atomization"
Hows that work on a multi-port injected motor?
Yep...its hard to believe!

Hi:
I am not the one that engineered the products, but I do know that the tb spacer and intake inprove performance and gas mileage. It is worth what I am asking because of the amount of gas you will save. It will pay for itself. I do know that spacers have been used for years to increase performance, so anyone should know about them because drag racer and performance engine builders have been using them since the 60s. Even ford used them on their engines from the factory.

They are not coming down on you! The spacers work great... on carburated vehicles! There is little or no benefit to the spacers on a vehicle with an F'ed up intake like the Dak's. Factory intakes are built to build torque and do a damn good job of it, but air can't maintain a "vortex" around sharp corners.
The main reason spacers worked with carbs is they insulated the carb from the engine heat and lengthened the mixtures path to the intake valve which increases velosity and atomization.
Not your fault, just misrepresentation by the manufacturer for certain applications!

They do work on TB's! They don't work on MPFI...
