i never understood throttle body spacers... in carb'd vehicles yes... more volume for the fuel/air mix... even throttle body EFI... but the injectors spray the fuel almost right before the intake valves...

Put that money towards something useful. Like a lift, tires, beefed up steering and breaking parts, new ignition components, lockers, skids, bumpers, tools.. Basically anything but that paper weight!

I will agree with the previous responses.
Some people claim to get a bit better throttle response.... and a neat whistle sound.

i can think of one instance when i would use a TB spacer... i have renix, so a 99+ intake doesnt mate too well to a renix TB. instead of paying $60 for an adapter so my TPS would work with an HO TB, turn that spacer into an adapter.

If I push down the skinny pedal just right I'll get a whistle out of my bored throttle body and it sounds exactly like forced induction haha.
