Throttle Body Spacers??

So iv been looking at these TB spacers. Anyone using them? I'm looking to get a little more power on the hwy.

Thanks in advance for the info.

You won't gain any hp, but you will gain an annoying whine. Think about a tune and a ported throttle body. If you have an I5 you can also do a supersparks spring delete. Throttle body spacers are worthless.

I do have the I5. What does the spring delete do for me?

I agree, spacers do nothing. I have used them on a few different vehicles and noticed nothing except a lighter wallet.

Spacers are a hold over from carburetor days. Putting spacers under the carb would in effect increase the intake runner length, which increased the velocity of the intake flow and improved fuel air mixing before the combustion chamber. Now the fuel is injected either right before or directly into the chamber, making it moot.

I don't know specifically but do a search for supersparks spring delete. It's done by a guy on 355nation.com that goes by supermodulation, he does tunes, ported throttle bodies, and the spring delete for colorados and H3's.

I've got supermodulations ported throttle body and it's great. Worth the money.
