Hi agin;

Yessir - older carbureted vehicles, and some early injected TBI (Throttle body injected) vehicles.

These thangs add some plenum volume which aids those applications. Our intakes already have sufficient plenum and intake runner volume.

Hi.

Ask away - that's what these forums are for

Nosir - you will not notice either a gain, nor a loss. It simply is not effective for us.

May look cool, and offer some bragging rights. Let the silly Chebbie and Doodge fellers run these - we know better!

Have a great weekend!


MGD

nothing else to add that hasn't already been covered as these throttle body spacers sure sound like a cool thing to have on the "mods list" to tell your friends about
