Default Curious about the Helix TBS or TBSs in general

I was just curious if anyone has messed with aHelix Throttle Body Spacer or a Throttle Body Spacer in general? I know you normally would use them on a carb. engine, but how do they work for the TBI engines?Are they good, bad, or what? Looking for your opinions! Thanks in advance.

why normally on a carb setup? The idea is the same, cooling the vapors or whatever. If I had to tear into my engine I'd throw one on but otherwise I don't know that it is worth the effort.

I guess from what I hearing if I am going as far as taking the TB off, save my money on the spacer and forget it and buy a whole throttle body then?

Yup...

You caught on fast...

TBS makes a cool WHIIIIISH sound, and that's about it...

Throttle body, well, that's just a genius idea to buy one, definitely a no brainer there. :-)
