Default Throttle body spacer?

Does this actually work or is it a gimmick like the "texas tornado"


it is supposed to increase velocity.

any opinions?

It works well for carburated cars to aid in better mixing of fuel and air, but all I can see it doing for us is at the most changing the torque curve verry slightly.

i have one of those... all i felt was a ALOT better throttle response, but nothing really in the power... the better throttle response could also be there cuz of the throttle cable being alot tighter...

TB spacers work well on cars/trucks that have short plenums - but useless on the Type R.
