I agree. I put my spacer in with my opne air element and I felt a huge difference. It felt like a whole different car. The major power increase probably came from the element but I am sure the spacer helped

I have been very happy with my TBI Spacer. I noticed I good bit of extra low and mid range power, so you should be pleased especially with the addition of an open element.

Waste of money

 

If you want one, you should do it the cheaper way. Make you own. Just take a gasket and draw the outline on whatever material you decide to use. And then cut it out. Alot of people are making them out of old cutting boards and other stuff. This way it will cost you under $5, instead of over $60.

 

When I changed my manifold I took the spacer off. The throtle responce became worse with the spacer and new intake manifold.

Thanks for the help. I am going to go with the spacer and the K&N open air, I was also going to go with a Ed Wright fastchip. Also has anyone ever heard of a injector spacer? If so let me know!!!
