There seems to be a bias against TB spacers or at least a reluctance to look into it. TB spacers cause gains for alot of vehicles. I don't care about or believe in the swirl type. It seems to me, if it can be cheap enough, someone should try it. Just some thoughts.

I've tried a couple in different vehicles over the past few years, but I've never had any appreciable HP gains on the dyno. One gave me 3 RWHP on my '92 Town Car (on the dyno), but the rest were bupkis. I think they actually have a better effect on the cars with carb setups.
