No, not really.

Throttle body spacers were designed for carbed, or throttle body injected motors. The idea was the additional turbulence, or 'swirl' kept the fuel in suspension better. It actually did kinda sorta work. On a port fuel injected engine though, they do absolutely nothing, and has been verified to do nothing via dyno testing.

This is just another one of those snake-oil products that make claims that are patently false, but, with a few key included words ('should', 'may', 'can', 'possible') they seem to be able to imply things that are physically impossible, and get away with it.

These are simply products for the gullible. Very similar to the software companies that write the 'speed up your PC' software, that leaves yet another background application running, that actually SLOWS DOWN your PC......

+1. And I was just "funning" about the metric thing! Because that's how I roll! It is amazing how many people get suckered by snake oil salesmen.....makes we want to watch The Outlaw Josey Wales today....he knew what to do with snake oil salesmen!
