throttle body spacers don't give you any benefits unless you're running a carb'd or TBI vehicle.

.75 liter of air does nothing for the air/fuel mixture because the air and fuel mix AT the cylinder.

drastic increases (such as putting the late model mid 99 4.0 intake on an earlier 4.0 with the larger exhaust ports) help (that intake is 4.2l vs. the original one being 2.1l).

There is zero legitimacy to any claim ever made by a throttle body spacer company on multi port fuel injected vehicles.


If you want an upgrade that will help, look at a better injector. these 3.7l injectors are garbage. single spray. find 5 hole injectors for it, it will spray finer and atomize better...and atomized fuel combusts.

Just letting you know most of what you want to do will do nothing in terms of hp gains. The k&n is much worse than a stock filter as it lets much more dirt into the engine. If you wanted to make a tuner you should've gotten a civic or something like that.
