Throttle body spacers

 Has anyone had any experience with throttle body spacers and what do you
think of them?

 Do you think the manufacturer would pass up the chance to supply you with
extra horsepower when all it takes is an extra bit of scrap metal ? If they
worked they would be ... part of the throttle body... wait, you already have
one !

 They make a cool noise when you accelerate! Other than that, they won't
give you any noticeable increase in HP, IMHO.
(you must have the 4 cylinder)

 While they're worthwhile under a carburetor, they don't do a thing under
a throttle body except make more noise... which fools some into thinking
it is making more power. ;)

 Excellent performance in separating your money from your wallet. Buy a tow
rope instead.

 Buy one already hooked up as you can get, or if a new one from the factory
get the dana44 rear axle as an option and you will be able to get bigger
tires in the future without worrying about snapping the dana35 axles?

Why, they add almost as much usable horsepower as neon exhaust tips, and
not quite as much as braided hose covers.

I got one of those spacers for free(after removing it from a junkyard
vehicle). Put it on my '95 4cyl, just for the hell of it. Didn't
seem to increase the hp any, but I do believe it moved the torque
curve down the rpm range a bit. Didn't hurt the mileage any that I
could tell.

Bottom line? If I had to pay for one, I wouldn't buy it.
