i have a 65mm throttle body on mine which is 25% larger than stock, the gain from a larger throttle body really depends on what other mods you ahve, intake manifolds and cams help, while turbos give big gains. I find that mine works great, and gives me some high rpm power. be careful what size you get, 70mm and larger usually sacrifice low end power depending on other modifications.

Their heatshield kit actually works somewhat like a spacer also. I'm installing this kit next week on my car mainly for the heatshield qualities.
Very nice kit btw, everything they say it includes.. it actually does. Nice pieces also, for 100 bucks its hard to go wrong. Spacer/heatshields + gaskets + extended hardware (including plastic washers for studs on IM.

TB spacers worked on older v8 cars becuase it effectively lengthens the intake, making more low end torque. on a honda you want the exact opposite.. you want a short fat intake.
they are a worthless gimmick, much like the amazing gas saving tornado!!!#@#
