Swirl-torque spacers
Do any of you have the swirl-torque spacer thing from Trans-Dapt Performance Products in ur TBI? They're supposed to give ya an extra 46 lb/ft of torque...

It is a TBI spacer. They work for carbs but not TBI. They are a waste of money. I have a .5" oneand all it did was cause linakge problems. If you really saw a 45lb ft increase you would see everyone selling thier cars in favor of a TBI car.

I beg to differ on the TBI spacer. I just installed my 1" TBI spacer I got from ebay and I def noticed a difference. Better throttle responce and more low end torque. I don't think the 1/2" one would do anything that you would notice. I got mine from TNT performance. Well worth the 30 bucks for it and the injector pod riser.

I have the one with swirls off of ebay on my truck.
to be honest I dont feel the difference, but i never ran the truck to get a baseline.
