Might help kill a litlle low end torque, and help WOT (a little).

Oooow, improves atomization, gosh one of them big words.

A spacer that raises the spacer?.  Marketing at it's best <g>..
Now if your talking about raising the injectors, what you want to do is take
a timing light and shine it into the fuel cone at the injector and see where
the fuel cone is hitting the butterfly or walls of the "throttle bore".  You
want it to hit just a tad above where the butterfly is closest to the walls.

I just make my own, hardwood, fuelproof dope.  Maybe $3 a pop.

For $340, I'd so alot of scrounging.

Don't expect anything, some cars/ trucks/ SUVs/ airplanes/ boats/ don't read
the same info humans do and so don't respond properly.

Again, meaningless without testing
