TB spacers dont work on our motors.
We are bottom feeders. Our fuel is delivered at the bottom not from the top
of the TB, like on some of those cheby or ferds.
Right now, without a spacer..........
you stomp the pedal, and you feel a hesitation before the truck launches. By
adding a spacer you will increase that hesitation. What you are essentially
doing is increasing the length of the runner. Might give a fraction of an
ounce of torque...And most of you are trying to decrease the runner length.
The MPI is too short......gives up way too much torque. I know a lot of you
wont believe it.......but come sit over here and respond to some of these
emails from guys that have already tried it, and are swapping it back out. A
hybrid manifold is probably the best bet. A stock one, with the runners
cleaned up, and that center damn lowered. Check out hughesengines.com they
make a modified unit just like ours.......but they are on some serious
crack. They are outrageously priced. And their TBs suck....oops, did I say
that. Check out their TB prices.........their quality sucks.......yet the one
that is kinda like ours is much more.
The only time I have suggested a spacer.......is for one of the guys with a
body lift. The spacer allowed him to continue using his K&N gen II. It
mounts to fender, so when motor stayed and fender went up....needed the spacer
to compensate for the lift.
I made a polished billet spacer.....its really purty, but it didnt help
performance......so I didnt make kit. I only put it on for shows.
Back to emails......
