This may have been lesson #1 from the forums for me: TB spacers don't work on our engines. No gains, waste of money. They do, however, make a very spiffy paper weight.

Worthless, a properly sized carb spacer can help, or hinder an engines hp and trq. But the intake length of a modern, fuel injected engine will gain ZERO benefit from a spacer, helix, power twister, etc, etc. Save your money for a real mod that will make a difference. A helix will benefit one person, the guy who sells it.

The HP gains from a TB spacer are negated
by the added weight of said spacer.

good one, I'll have to remember that. But you forgot to factor in the weight difference between having the money in your wallet and not after buying said spacer. Gotta be good for 1/10 at the track !!!
