I belong to a number of forums and the remarks that I have read are negative for throttle spacers.

Yea ,another gadgit, Thats suppose increase Horse Power by 10% an give you More fuel mileage, All they are is a piece of Alum. thats like 1/2 " thick , an the inner edges are Scalloped, With the Idea that it will spin the air around before it goes in the combustion chamber for a better fuel mixture burn rate,, On a Fuel injected Motor I just dont see it, The fuel is metered in a spray pattern, On the ole carb. Motors where the fuel was just forced down the intake to all the cyl at once , It wasnt even atomized, just shot in, Yea I could see where it would help a " wee bit ", I wouldnt waste my money on it Myself !!!!,, Any body remember in the 70's when the trick set up was to put magnets on your steel fuel line before it entered the Carb ?. Was suppose to align all the neg an postive atoms/ mocules, Yea Right , But hey the guy sold tons of them , I think you can still find them in JC Whitney,, I had one guy put some on his fuel rail on an EFI motor ,{ he put a bunch of them on there } Well I guess the Magentic Field messed with some of the puther readings, Thing was spitting an bucking , LOL ,, Dumb A$$ , I would suggest a Power Chip , An a K & N filter, If nuthing else the K & N sounds cool , Of course you can just about do the same thing , Go to the Junk yard get a Filter housing for your vechile, An drill a bunch of 3/8" holes in it so it will draw more air .
