Default tb spacer advice

Ive read mixed reviews on throttle body spacers for the 4.0 some say its not worth it others say it improves mileage and hp. I run a free flow exhaust system with stainess steel headers and cold air intake. Would the throttle body spacers do me any good. Or should i jus bore out the stock tb?

Search for this, there was a debate about 2 weeks ago on here for it.

Just save your money and do something else to the jeep. The TB spacer doesnt really affect fuel injected engines in a positive way...and im some engines has caused loss of power/mpg.

The only thing your TB spacer will do is make your intake whistle a little.

Agreed. It will not be a noticeable difference. There are many other items that would improve gas mileage and HP much better..
