It is a good inexpensive addition. I will be pulling mine back off in the spring I believe because I'm going with a larger throttle. I wonder if they'll have a larger version of the spacer out by then.
Yes vice grips are a must in this project.

Your better off using the the 2 nuts tightened against each other to remove the studs. No chance of damaging the threads that way.

How does this work? This is my first car where I'm doing the work so some of the methods talked about on here are new to me. How does this method work?

Take out the 2 bolts from the top of the throttle body. Take the 2 nuts off the 2 bottom studs. Remove the throttle body. Use the 2 nuts you took off the bottom studs and screw both of them on 1 of the old studs you are trying to remove. Hold 1 nut with a wrench while tightening the other nut against it with another wrench. Once the 2 nuts are tight against each other, you should be able to back out the stud using a 10 MM (I think that was the size) wrench on the inside nut.

I have to say, I love my spacer too. Definitely feel a difference. Not so much from a stop, but I have better throttle response when I'm already moving. Best $100 I spent on the car.

times.

My Jet TBS just arrived today. The two nuts that came with it are different sizes...like way different. What kind of shoddy crap is that? I got it from autoanything.com.
