Being a guy that want to spead knowledge and debuk myth, I have a simple report on this conversation.
I got my hands on a Power Aid throttle body spacer a few months ago and I have been compairing some numbers. Zilch difference in average fuel economy numbers. It seems that at a slow 55 mile per hour cruising speed the fuel economy jumps way up to 28 MPG with a rock steady foot and flat (or nearly flat) highways. But if you jump up to 65 or 70 the numbers drop to around 22 and 23 respectfully. These numbers are congruent with comparisons made before the swap. So I am going to say this thing does Jack for economy.
As for performance I didn't notice anything in the saddle...if you can't feel it in the seat than their is no point in my book. Dyno numbers may show a small increase, of maybe less than 10 HP and 7 FPT but with such small increases in performance and the heafty price tag of $100.00 or more. I wouldn't waste the twenty minutes it takes to install this item.
Just my $0.02.
