Throttle Body upgrades w/spacers 4 3.0
I was reading last night in my Peters 4Wheel mag and saw an article on hopping up a Jeep with some fuel & air hop ups. Has any one with a 3.0 upgraded their throttle body with one like Turbo Citys bored modified TB & spacer? I have thought of looking into the TB spacers but not sure who has them. I think Turbo City is a GM & Jeep specialist so who is a Toy specialist? How much would a hopped up TB & spacer help me?

Downey sells OEM + 3mm bord out throtle body. Catalog number 22230 it runs about $249
I do not see any TB spacers listed.
I have seen TB spacers for other vehicles but, what is designed to do?
Create a vortex of air into the intake manifold.
or
Extend the air flow between the TB and intake manifold
or
Keep the TB cooler by isolating it from the intake manifold.

I had a shop up in Canada bore out my 22RE's t-body and intake. They were cheaper than what Downey wants for just a bored out t-body. They do 3.0's too. Let me see if I can find the link to the write up about 'em....

Unfortunately, I can't link directly to the article. You'll have to go to this guy's tech page and scroll down a little to the overbored t-body/intake article,

TB spacers are a waste of money. But bored out TB's work well if you can get it set up right. I have seen people get them and have trouble with their idle fluctuating too high. I'd say just make sure you understand how to tweak one before you order it.

if there is anyone who has an extra 3.4L TB or that can afford some downtime and wants theirs bored out, please PM me. youll get a discounted rate on the boring of your TB.
he just needs to make sure (by looking at one iun person) that he can do it.
basicaly he thinks the TB might be too deep for him to get to it all.
so let me know and youll get a discount from him. itll be 135 with return shipping included.
normal price will be around 165 w/ return shipping included.

PS. 3.0L 2.7L and 22RE will be available too after the first 3.4 has been completed (same pricing).
