Spacers work on carbs because the fuel/air mixture is done right after the carb. Fuel injection/throttle bodies do not benefit NEARLY as much as carbs. And it is a very basic give and take. It lets a minimal amount of air extra past the throttle body to help line the air up into the manifold. In my head that equates to a lick more low end, and a lick less in the top end. ....we're not talkin much

Has anyone done a dyno before and after a throttle body spacer on a JK?
I could see it on a carburetor, but where the fuel is injected so far down the line, (just ahead of the intake valves), I don't see what it would do to improve things.
