Throttle body spacers
Was wondering if there were any throttle body spacers for a 2.7 L engine? What are the advantages of having a throttle body spacer, if any?

There arnt any. They are made to spin the air alowing for a better fuel to air mix. Our engines have fuel injectors in the cylinders making the spacer worthless.
If I am off/ wrong feel free to correct me... that is the answer I have read off of here and other site.

As stated correctly above our engines are direct port injection thus TBSs do zero but there are people that still argue that they work and they can feel the extra horsepower.

Even though the injectors are located in the cylinders (like most newer cars) wouldn't the turbulant air (from the added spacer) still help in the slightest?
To say it does NOTHING is a bit of a guess. Anyone have solid data on this? I my self was going to buy one and couple it with an after market intake.
I would just like to know the facts, not trying to start a fight.
