Case closed, Throttle body spacers do absolutely sh!t. Its the same concept as the plenum stackers people put on dual runner manifolds, to increase the volume.
Egi7 said:Not always, neccessarily. Manifold design also plays a role in throttle response at lower rpms. The f23 manifold, in itself, is already designed for quick throttle response, being that it has short runners and a big plenum. I would better advocate a aftermarket throttle body, if one wanted to better throttle response, being that it allows more air to enter the plenum at an accelarated rate.
Egi7 said:Iam not talking in terms of MAX flow, iam was reffering to intake velocity and volume( "the TBS issue"). Your statement about "opening it up 30% would yield the same effect as opening up the smaller one 50%" is true being that they both end up with the same diameter and circumference..lol But if your insinuating that an aftermarket TB gives a non-positive effect on throttle reponse your wrong. Time and time again, TB's have proven to have great results in response and flow dynamics being that the manifold is a performance oriented piece itself.
