Does anyone know if they make a throttle body spacer for our cars. If so where can I get one. this is for a KA24DE

How hard would it be to just take an aluminum blank and punch the holes in it? What does spacing help? Torque?

it supposedly gives the air and fuel more time to combineon my riends sonoma its supposed to be at least a 10 hp difference

If the injector is in front of the port (right) how would it give more time to mix? But I have seen dyno charts showing different length trumpets on carbs and it effects the hp and torque

ok yeah they are also spiraled inside to spin the air that could be some of it

What are? The runners? or the trumpets on a carb?

Spinning air does nothing, just like those worthless Tornado things. Wouldn't you want it to go as straight as possible?

I would doubt that a throttle body spacer would do anything on an FI car. Carb spacers make a difference but they are behind the point where the fuel and air combine, FI cars are not applicable as was already pointed out. Now different length funnels on carbs do change the power curve slightly and if the spacer changed the air flow characteristics into the manifold it would make a difference albeit slight.
