Am I way off? Would a throttle body spacer do anything for my 4.0?

some 4 litre owners over here have reported better oomph when accelerating but that may be the placebo effect. the only true way to test is get it on a dyno.

	Throttle body spacer A throttle body spacer is designed to improve the quality of the airflow, allowing air that is more condensed and, thus, more oxygen laden, to enter the combustion chamber. The result of this is a more efficient burn, which serves to release more energy from the fuel, making more horsepower available.
