Anybody pick one of these up and get actually dyno #'s?? They seem like bs to me but I don't have one so I don't know...I think I'm going to pick one up, dyno it, and post the results...

I bought an intake spacer (which I know is different) but I wouldn't pay $5 for that thing. Atleast Steeda makes an intake spacer so I half believed it mighta done something. I've never heard of a tb spacer.

ive already seen magazines that had dynos of the throttle body spacers and various vehicles lost 3-5 rwhp ...they say it actually restricts air flow..or it just doesnt work...i know there was a shop that tried to sell me one everytime i visited, but one day i told them that i will get it, but only if they give it to me and let me dyno before and after and if i recieved a gain then i would pay...well they told me no which means they know good and well that it is only good as a paperweight

Well I look at it this way... if a tb spacer made improvements, aftermarket tb's would be longer. They're not so I wouldn't install a tb spacer.
