the longer the run between the valves and the throttle plate the more torque respone you will have
thats why the hemis in the cars have short runners
BUT I AGREE SPACERS ARE A WASTE OF MONEY
Well, I drove like a total bitch this week and without going over 60 mph on the highway and a mix of 60 highway and 40 city driving I averaged 17 mpg vs my usual 14.7 mpg regular driving all hand calculated. So the modified throttle body did not make my mileage any worse, but I will drive it regular and see if it gets better than my average. By the way my evic display said I was getting 18.3 mpg.
If you can let me know some more details, I want to do this to my truck.
thanks!

The air entering the throttle body started at 85 mm then tapers in smaller slightly. Then it was polished. I think they also did something to the throttle body butterfly. I am not sure if you can enlarge it 85 mm all the way cause then you will have a throttle body larger then the actual mounting area seal. Overall I am happy with the results, but also would consider the BBK throttle body.

I have looked into BBK throttle bodys. I found it for 408.54 with free shipping from AutoPartsDealer.com.
Has anyone here ever ordered from them??
I just installed mine from modern muscle and I am loving the crisp throttle response. It runs a lot better now than it did before, and like twist had mentioned it just runs smoother. I will have to run a few tanks through to see if I pick up any mpg's.
Glad to hear it worked out for you like it did for me. Hopefully your MPG will go up a little; mine did.
