TS John Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'm gonna second this question, since I was wondering if they're a good idea for Z6s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkidwithsol Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 I guess no one knows! That or everyone just don't care. I was told it will help so I guess i will try it anyways. I was told 1"= an extra 500 rpm for redline. If any one thinks that is wrong plez let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 That does not make sense. Redline is not determined by the spacing of your throttle body. Otherwise people would just space their throttle body like crazy and not bother to build their engines at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 a throttle body spacer will help your fuel economy and you will also get alittle bit more throttle response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xer0 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 doesn't it change the way the air moves as it come sin to the engine, like putting a spin on it to try and compress it a lil. denser air = better right? well thats my ges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcoats1976 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 on an old school v-8 with about 400 horsepower a good spacer might get 6 extra horsepower,so figure on maybe 3...cold air intake would probably be more noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 But what about both? I guess if it increases throttle response and adds a tiny bit of power I can dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 It wouldn't be noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
