Default OH Suzy!

I have just recently purchased and installed the Helix throttle body spacer for my Z. If it didnt give me a little more power and quite a bit more torque, it would have been worth it just for the sound it makes. But i can tell a difference in the performance. When at about half throttle, instead of the little whistle that the pop charger gives you, you get a full out whooshing sound. It sounds like the car is taking a deep breath. I havnt heard of anyone doing this mod yet, but i reccomend it to anyone, it was well worth it.

sorry i cant do the sound or video unless ist on mah cell, but that'll probably be crappy, i got mine from JC Whitney for $100, and i you do decide to get one and you have a 2006, you have to get 4 80 mm bolts, the 70 mm ones dont fit the 06' due to the fact that the throttle body is bigger. And im in South Florida Ft Lauderdale area.

THROTTLE BODY SPACER

Computer-designed chambers and special channels improve efficiency and air velocity performance

Raises throttle body injection unit 1"

Up to 22 more HP! Up to 25 ft./lbs. more torque!

Added height plus improved Helix spiral flow design combine to create an airflow vortex that dramatically improves fuel atomization. The result: more horsepower, greatly increased torque and improved fuel economy. Easy to install. Works with any fuel. Will not effect emissions testing. Performance gains indicated above may vary depending on vehicle and driving style. NOTE: SKU numbers ending in F are factory shipped and may take a little longer to reach you.
GOOD LORD! 22 more horses and 25 lbs. of torque?
