aFE Throttle Body Spacer
http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/p733...duct_info.html
Has anybody tried this yet? I only found one thread (with a good explanation by scheherazade of how it works) but I have yet to see anybody actually try it out yet.

You can be the first to write a review on it. I've heard that there is some truth to the science behind it... but in reality it would have to be a lot more substantial to be evident or produce the claims AFE makes.

It's your money - waste it as you feel fit, but this is definitely a waste!

thats only because the throttle body was on top of the intake manifiold and this spacer just raised the throttle body up away from the heat a little! same as the 5.0 efi spacers, but on these applications i think its a waste of money

I have it.
I didn't do a review on it because there isn't that much to review. The thing that I like about it is that it's supposed to put turbulence on the air that is entering the intake manifold. IMO, there is too much air going to the 2-5 cylinders and not enough for cylinders 1 and 6.

All I'm syaing is that cylinders 1 and 6 don't get the same air flow as 2-5 and this is supposed to help with that.

do you think it would be good to drill and tap for a meth nozzle? or is it too close to the throttle plate? that would be the only use i can see for it

Under boost, the spacer should do nothing - in a non boosted car it is different and will have more of an effect.
