i personally dont see how they work for newer styles, but for carbs i run them, they do make a difference, usually a couple mph, if u get the right one for your combo

I will be trying some of these in the near future. If any one wants to donate their extra spacer please contact me. I would also like to test the bottom part spacer that WCCH makes not just the one for the T/B.
Here is the VaraRam one that I got for testing.

I used one back in the day on my 98, it did seem to help throttle response. I would never waste my money on it again though.LOL

I have a rubber 90mm TB spacer that came in a box of parts I received. If anyone wants to play with it they can. $10+the ride and it's yours. The $10 isn't for the TB spacer but the fact that I have to spend my lunch hour packing it and running it to the UPS store.

i have a bbk 85mm tb that i put on my truck and it would stick alil bit so i called bbk and they said that the tb is suppose to come with a spacer to pull the tb away from the intake to keep the blade from hittin it, well i called the guy i got it from and he found it in a pile of crap and sent it to me, well my results with puttin it on where this, with the tb w/o the spacer it idled at 650rpms, but with the spacer it idled at 950 rpms because it made the cable too tight and it couldnt be adjusted any further out. well it def increased bottom end for some odd reason, jk... so it is now off the truck in my pile of crap, long story short it, the spacer is a fake power adder from experience.
