  increasing the velocity???

unless that sucker has a fan in there to give some kind of boost, it's not going to be worth anything compared to the money spent.  In fact, it could end up hurting if the edges don't match up, creating a lip of canyon for the air flow to be disturbed on. 

Honestly, if you're looking to gain that much air flow out of your intake... get a RAM Air that drops directly into your intake.  Install a SC or turbo, or go out and buy a vehicle using a Carb and throw the sucker on there. 

The spacer for a FI system came along because some guy who knew how well they worked on carb, and tried to see how well it worked on a FI.  With motors today, they're pointless, but a company knows they can find someone to fork up money.

Hello,

The Throttle body spacers from Airaid are not desighned to add HP, nor does Airaid claim they make HP. The TB spacer is suppsoed to make part throttle mid-range torque gains, which they do on most vehicles, not all. Dynoing them is a waste of time and of course it will not show a gain, as they make part throttle gains, not full throttle gains. Basically for light to light or around town is what they are intended for, not going faster in a 1/4 mile.

Thanks,

David
