thanks alot for that harvey. actually makes alot of sense. although the post from the airraid guy makes no sense at all. if it adds ANY torque at all then it should help 1/4 time (torque is what matters, hp is just some numbers) and should definately show up on the dyno. thanks for saving me $75!

Does anyone know if those throttle body spacers do anything for carburated or throttle-body injection engines? I could never figure out why someone would use them for just air. On a carburated or TBI engine though, would that swirling action mix the air and fuel together better? Thanks!

They are worth the money but have someone else that knows how to put them in do it. Its great for exceleration and punching the gas on the highway.
3.9 cold air, throtle body, flowmasters, chip, headers and supercharger in the future.

I've got some muffler bearing grease for sale, it's worth at least 20 HP. Although your 0-60 time will show no improvement, it's doing it's job.

Hi. I have recently purchased a throtle body spacer for my v6 99 dodge dakota. It was only 35$. i have not heard good things about this item but it was cheap and i was wondering if i put it on will it decrease power?? or will it just do nothing or will it help gas milage?

Sorry Andrew, Wasted $35.
The crossflow intake design of the '91+ Mopar engines will cause absolutely no gain.
All of these turbo/turbine/tornado/spacers will do nothing for you. The airflow into your engine: Thru TB into large open space divides with a 1" gap, sucked from the bottom of the intake almost flush with the belly pan and then channelled up & over the intake and into the cumbustion chamber. From TB to Intake valve is almost 12".
Good Luck,
Shank
Next time a Honduh wants to race
Ask him how many sheets of plywood he can haul?
