Please explain how it could have a "tuning effect that will improve air
flow"...just curious how a spacer could "tune" anything.

The TB spacers don't help on the magnum 3.9/5.2/5.9 because of the large
plenum
intake manifold. To have an impact on the air flow into the engine you need
to
modify the runners inside the manifold.
I do not know what the manifold looks like on your 4 cyl TJ but if it does
not
have a large plenum down stream of the throttle body but it could have a
tuning
effect that will improve the air flow and give you a littel power boost. It
also could have the opposite effect and you could loose some power.
