Are throttlebody spacers crap?

[The Deuce]

while you're at it by the typhoon for your intake.

If you mean a phelonic spacer (between upper and lower intakes) the only thing that would ever do is give you a very very small increase in intake air velocity. There is some merit to that theory, that's why carb'ed cars like high rise manifolds.

Let me make this very clear though...

$80+ 120 = $200.

You cannot afford a headswap right now because you don't have enough money, right? Everytime you see something other than PI heads, write yourself a check for the amount of money the other part is, and deposit it into a "head fund".

At the rate you're going, you'll have enough money in a week.
