AirRaid Throttle body spacer

[jbuckmiller]

I am thinking about putting an AirRaid Throttle body spacer on my 05 Rubicon LJ and was wondering if anyone has any experience with their claims of increased power and gas mileage.
Is it worth it or just hype?

Dont bother, i have one on my 02 TJ and it doesnt do crap

try getting a new throttle body

I did the spacer and it did not really seem to do much. However I also got a bored out throttle body and the engine seems to have a little more power It does seem to run a lot smoother . check out the post below. Tell him mark bricksman007 referred you.

Technically speaking, that thread just has more supposition and theoretical rambling about spacers, as none were tested.

I want to say that JP Mag tested spacers, with zero improvement in anything.

Bored throttle bodies I could see (more volume usually helps power), but spacers should have some kind of "runner-lenghtening" effect, if any, and 1. they're pretty short and 2. Jeeps do not often run flat out at the RPM's that longer intake runners would help.

But this is America! Throttle body spacers are pretty anodized colors, and it's not my money. Have at it, and long live capitalism!!!
