The TB spacer is more for TBI units where its mixing the fuel and air. Pointless on a dry intake.

Of course they claim it makes power. Who would spend money on something that does nothing?

About all your really doing is increasing the plenium size, and not by much. So it might help on that quick crack of the throttle.

But its design is to "swirl" the air.. in our intake, what for? By the time it makes it to the runners, its not swirling anymore. And if it was, again, what for? There is nothing to mix tell down by the heads, and its to late then.
