Victor,

Look up power toilet or power tower and you'll see the threads.
If I remember correctly it was a negligable power increase.

A throttle body spacer does nothing for a fuel injected engine. It spins the air that is then ducted down into the intake. There is no fuel/air mix to spin and by the time the air hits the cylinder, it has stopped spinning anyway.

Take the $80 and set fire to it. You will get more out of it.

I have seen documented gains on carburated engines, but never on an EFI motor.

Since I don't get a vacation - Yotatech is my daily runaway from the stresses and confines of work.

My happy place






....aw who am I kidding?
Every time I come here I leave with another item to put on my growing mod list!

It does create cool whirring noise upon stepping on the gas...A great compliment to a low cat-back grumble...But not so great with the highly annoyed mother-in-law and/or spouse.
