Thoughts on throttle body spacers
I just want everyones opinion on a throttle body spacer. I've heard mixed reviews from my friends, so now I'm coming to the experts lol. I just can't decide if I should get one or not.

I have the aFe throttle spacer in my '08 Unlimited and love it. Some people don't like the whistling sound throttle spacers usually give, but idc, to me it's just another mod and hearing it whistle when I step on the gas is cool... Idc if people think it's pointless, it's an easy to install mod.

The reason no one thinks throttle body spacers don't work is they expect a horsepower gain from them. A throttle body spacer creates better fuel atomization which in turn creates low end toque around 3000 to 4000 RPM. If you dyno'd your jeep before and after the dunno should reflect this in the torque curve. Too many people expect horsepower numbers and big gains from this simple mod but the reality is it was designed for torque and better fuel use which in turn usually is not felt by the seat of the pants dyno. Yes they work but the question is, is that the kind of power you were looking for or not?
