lol never said it would do anything. Besides i know they are for fuel atomization, and assuming your injectors work right, you wont get much better than that. but a spacer kinda adds runner length doesnt it? anyway money better spent on a good injector cleaner lol or maybe new injectors....assuming they are old.

I had a Helix Power Tower Throttle body spacer on my car and today i took it off when i put my 75mm Tb on and i was wondering if they are any good. Do they really increase your hp and torque or what, i have no idea if there are any benefits from having one if there are should i put it back on?
Dyno at Mustang Magic in Deer Park NY show a one and one quarter (1 1/4) RWHP increase with the spacer plate.

There is no fuel to atomize at the TB. Runner length has to do with helping the individual flow into each intake/injector port and adding a spacer at the TB will do nothing. Absolutely nothing, no way, no how, isn't gonna happen, ever, period. triple period

ok then...by the way i wasnt combining that statment, i know it wouldnt help with atomization with injected cars...cuz thats the point of the injector...but if it doesnt help with runner length then yup usless...not that i was saying otherwise. but good to know.
