Alright whats with this, I hear good things and bad things about this damn thing. Ok can someone give me a good investigative stand point about TB spacers on our trucks. I'm looking at Poweraid

 

I don't think they're worth it at all. A couple of my friends have installed them on thier trucks, and it creates more trouble than its worth. They had a hard time getting the intake to fit with the shroud, and my friend couldn't shut the hood on his S-10! I also don't see how moving the TB further will doing anything. I know they work for a carb, but thats because fuel and air are in the process of mixing and it increases plenum volume. In a FI truck...I don't see how they could do anything, because the fuel insn't introduced until the intake runners. Just my thoughts though.

 

01Blackerado, I may be willing to sell my Helix power Tower throttle body spacer if the price is right.

 

Thanks for that info. Much apreciated but i have a much bigger truck than an s10 so my hood isnt a worry! And i have efans so i dont have a shroud anymore either. But still thankds for the info

 

So im guessing you werent satisfied with your results on that Helix

 

Oh yeah and how the hell do i change that stupid registered user under my avatar

 

Spend a hundred bucks on a nice dinner for your girlfriend/wife and then score big when you get home.....that would be worth more than negative 1hp IMO.

 

Actually I'm trying to make room for a larger intake tube because I still have the fan in the way. It does make some low end torque.

 

I like this guy thanks bud thats what i needed i think ill take your advice on that one.

 

What's the point in spacing a throttle body from
a cool plastic manifold? None.

What's the point in making turbulent inlet-end flow
when the fuel is delivered into the intake ports at
dead-air timing? None.

What's the point in making throttle body spacers?
