im stationed in va beach. i used to run the tbi spacer in my car i did feel a difference in torque and it did improve my gas mileage as long as i kept my lead foot off the gas pedal. i had to take it off after i put the edelbrock manifold on. clearance problems and didnt feel like cutting a hole in my hood scoop. ill put it back on once i get the money to buy a aftermarket hood.

Hey, I have the injector spacer and the eddlebrock intake. I also have the TBI spacer but i couldnt get the linkages to match up to the tbi. is there a bracket to rais up the throttle and the kick down bracket? I was irritated about it and didnt fool with it to long. i noticed good torque and power with the intake and spacer.
