HI!... It's a POS. I wasted my money on it and went 2 tenths slower in the 1/4 everytime I re-installed it. Got worst gas milage and had to put up with that annoying high pitch *WHISTLE* all the time at cruising speeds and throttle TIP IN. Save your money and get underdrive pulleys instead. There in the same price range as the TB SPACER and will give you a H.P/TG increase.

I agree 1000%!!! A totally useless piece of KRAP!!!
I bought one installed it, got that annoying whistle sound, read other posts here and took it off and returned it!
THe only good thing about them is that they come with a 30 day $ back guarantee!!!

I'm only 42!!! Actually, several years ago some accounts were lost through a bad backup I believe. So I guess our webmaster just put that date in when he recreated my account?
I think I first registered around June of 1998, when I purchased my Green Machine!
