im pretty sure but they dont work
all it does is make the intake pather that much longer

The "guy you talked to" didn't happen to be the guy who was selling it to you, did he? Cause a claim of 6hp from a throttle body spacer is the biggest crock of @!#$ since Rick Howe claimed to be a "businessman".

In the "old days" throttle body spacers made of plastic, phenolic or other heat insulating materials were useful to keep heat off the carburetor body and keep too much gas from vaporizing in the fuel bowls.

Nowadays, throttle body spacers do one thing and one thing only...they increase the volume of air in the intake runners behind the throttle body. That volume of air become simportant when you snap open the throttle, as the engine suddenly needs a quick burst of air and fuel until the column of air in the intake tubing gets moving. Spacers can make engines more responsive off-idle, but they don't actually make any power. All they do is make more of the engine's total power available in a specific situation (that split second between the throttle opening and the air column in the intake getting moving). Do research on something called "under the curve horsepower shift" and you'll see what I mean.

The only way a throttle body spacer will actually ADD power is if it has a working nitrous oxide jet in it.

You can dyno the same car, back to back, and see a 6hp difference, so that means jack.

well i just wanted to look at one so i could figure it out.THis guy who i talked to ran a 15.8 in his ohv sounds crazy but he has the slips so he must be doin somehting right!

Just try to understand, there is no real logical reason to add a TB spacer. If anything, it will shift your powerband down.
Oh yeah, my 2.2 OHV 3speed was doing better than a 15.8, so I guess I'm smarter than that guy

i think he had all the bolt ons for the 2.2 and his interior was gutted too

TB spacer is junk. but if you plan on nitrous, you can drill the spacer instead of your intake

I haven't talked to that bastard in a long time. I think he's in jail.

Haha I wouldn't be surprised if he's in jail!
