Are throttle body spacers really worth it?
Do throttle body spacers really help you gain anything? Opinions?

Not unless you have an old TBI engine.

Many people argue that they dont actually do anything. These are the people who expect extra hp.
I bought the spacer last month and installed it on my new Jeep Sahara. What really happens that the spacer keeps the RPM high for a longer period than the usual so you feel that your engine is always awake! I didnt try it on my Camaro yet.

Throttle body spacers only work with certain engines. With directport injection, it does nothing . At best, it might insulate the throttle body from heat, but since the AIT isn't located at the throttle body, I'm not sure if that would do anything.
