Default before you say NO...

i was searching on summitracing.com and came across a throttle body spacer, HOLD ON, this is not like the ones i have seen before this one is by AIRADE it is made for the mulit port throttle bodies, meaning that it has 2 ports, rather than a single port, what do think now?

your saying that this one is still no good even though it is multi port?

For a throttle body spacer to do anything on our engines it would have to be an intake manifold spacer.The tb spacers were made for Tb injected vehicle. The spacer allows more time for the air and fuel to mix to together and stirs up the air in fuel before it enters the combustion chamber. Our engines are multi point injection because you have 8 injectors spraying almost directly into the combustion chamber. All a tb spacer is going to do is look pretty and make it harder to get your air hat on and off.

2 ports, one port, 55 ports. The swirling action can't be held one it drops into the manifold.

Now, if you are set on getting one despite the reviews, testsand opinions, go ahead and let us know (honestly) how it works.

If you want better performance, do what I did and read my engine threads.
