Default throttle body spacers

My question so these things really work and give you more power and better gas mileage?

I asked the same question once. And all i got was its all in your head, these engines arent made for power gains....

Kinda like as a kid you get new shoes and you can run faster and jump higher! lol

I put in an Airaid intake, no throttle spacer, and I def feel an increase in power (also did an MBRP catback to give all that extra air somewhere to go...). The increase in mileage was nominal, if better at all.

I'd like to see them hook a jk up to the same machines they use when showing off supercharges and turbos after they install a CAI and or throttle space so we can put this to bed once and for all.
