AirRaid (Helix) TBS, after the first week

[StealthTJ]

Big thumbs up so far.. I already posted a week or so ago that it made a noticable difference in power. Now,
after the first tank of gas, driving the same number of miles, the same way (mixed freeway/around town, to
work and back) my gas milage *improved* 2.5 mpg... Let's see if that holds now !

Lon, it's maybe 15 ~ 30 minutes to install. It's 100% bolt in.. Basically the TBS is a 1" spacer that fits between the throttle body and the intake manifold. You unbolt the throttle body, lift it up, slide in the TBS with the two included gaskets and then bolt the throttle body to the top of the spacer with the new longer bolts (included).. They also include some spacers and some longer bolts for the throttle linkage.
I bought mine at:

It was the cheapest place that I've found.. Thanks to Dan (DanB98TJ) for the link..

I put one in my 94 4.0 about one month ago. Results after 3 tanks of gas: no increase in gas mileage, possible increase in low end power, but can't be sure and the thing whistles like a turbo. I have tried rotating/fliiping it to get rid of the whistle without success. Kind of annoying. I wouldn't do it again.
