injector spacer?cordovaass 02-20-2005, 02:50 PM ok i know all about throttle body spacers. but i was on ebay looking at one from t & t and they offer a feul injector spacer for $12.95 and they say it will add 4 more horses! does any one have any ideas on that? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33558&item=7955313346&rd=1 kenny-1907 02-20-2005, 03:27 PM I did a search and found this on the jegs web site. This is an exacte quote off their site. Jeg's TBI Fuel Injector Spacer This spacer raises the injector housing 1/4'' above your throttle body and allows 15% more air flow into your engine. More air means more power! Part # 555-15410 1986-95 4.3L/5.0L/5.7L Price $19.99 cordovaass 02-20-2005, 11:02 PM I did a search and found this on the jegs web site.

They also recommend a bowl you rivet to the bottom of your aircleaner (after you cout the bottom to a larger diameter). I'm going to install the bowl but probably not the spacer as I just built a new 383 stroker engine with the Edelbrock TBI manifold. This manifold is exactly 1/4" taller than stock, so I think they built in this improvement. Edelbrock says the manifold alone (no cam, chip, headers, etc.) is good for a 4% improvement in power or mileage. As much as I drive, this would pay for the $250 manifold in a couple of years! cc rider 03-04-2005, 10:17 AM I have a 1991 Olds Custom Cruiser with 305 TBI. I added an injector spacer, plus a 1" TB spacer, AND did a 'port job' on the TB barrels. I had the intake manifold off anyway, so figured what the heck. I did not notice a huge difference. However, a 305 in a 4500 lb. car is not EVER going to be a screamer. It didn't hurt, might have helped, didn't cost a lot. E-Bay seems to be the place to get that kind of thing. Cheaper, BUT you have to make sure you know exactly what fits. Happy Motoring! c. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
