Throttle body spacer

I searched and it actually gave me one thread! But it was on the 2nd gens forum. I found an airraid throttle body spacer for the 2.2cl, and wondered if anyone had tried them. I had one on a Jeep Wrangler 4.0 that really made a difference, but it made an annoying whistle at the top end, almost turbo like but strange. Seems they do that on certain vehicles. Are there any good aftermarket throttlebodies?

The whistle really isnt that especially if you have an intake. I have had mine for a while and i dont notice it anymore.

The one on the wrangler was the actual Airraid brand, it added about 15 horse, It really was a noticable difference, but the whistle annoyed the hell out of me. I will probably end up with one, with an intake of course. I am thinking DC sports on the intake.

There's not a huge performance difference, that's why I haven't installed mine yet
