next mod: Helix Throttle Body Spacer
I actually have 2 new mods Ill be offering:
MSD Dash Hawk (plug and play for all VXs) and our
HELIX Throttle Body Spacers
Ive been selling these out of my shop for a few yrs
now
http://www.streetandperformanceelectronics.com/hptp.htm
for a variety of cars and suvs
Customers repsonse has always been good.
For the $ (about $120) they seem like a well worth mod.
Their patented design seems to be the one asked for by name.
I sent them an extra throttle body I had here so they could
mock up a test piece.
Ill have it in a few days and when I get it Ill post up a few pics
of the before during and after install.
And to help check the workings of it all Im going to be using this
item from MSD.

I may have time to actually take my VX to the track this weekend
and get a 1/4 mile base time too as it sits with the muffler and
Green drop in filter anyway.
And then maybe try to get a time after for more accurate results.
Seat of the pants feel, mpg etc too.
keep you posted
thanks

this is my answer to that
this is not a racing device, this is for the daily
driver, one
that would need better throttle response,
drivability and fuel
economy. with our patented design we have
increased the air flow
at the intake manifold port 3-8%, thus more air
enters the engine
at low engine speed. the increased air volume is
detected by the
heated oygen sensor and readjusts the fuel mix to
a specified ratio.
more air in, more mid power, less foot pressure to
obtain 20-60hp
needed to keep a vehicle at speed. the less foot
pressure is
using less air, thus using less fuel with the same
power output.
yes the thickness of the spacer is increasing the
manifold plenum
volume, but its the throttle body spacer design
that allows the
more efficient air delivery to the intake port.
smooth bore spacers
do not promote this type of action and thats why
we say not all
throttle body spacers are the same.
On top of that all, honestly I was skeptical about them too
myself until I started selling them and customers came
back raving about them and their friends come back and ask
for them by name because of how much they like them.
So customer feedback has been overwhelming for the last
2 yrs on them. :)
