has anyone put a new throttle body spacer on, was it easy to put on, and does it give you more hp. If so how much and is it very noticeable.

Thanks in advance

Why do you think you need a spacer?

Slowhawk · 09-19-2010, 07:46 PM

Spacer is a waste of $$.

If the spacer actually did anything, GM would install it at the factory...

Waste of money!

This should get good...

will the spacer change the sound of the air? My friend has one on his 1500 Ram truck and he says the wistle is from a spacer? just curious.

Honestly, they look cool, cost about $100, and just lengthen the intake tract by a couple centimeters.

Power? Eh... Maybe SOTP but then again, it's all relative.

I don't think that there are any real dynos out there proving any sort of power.

There are way better things to spend a Benny on then this if you're wanting looks.

My opinion says so at least.

Here ya go. Price ~$1.00. Leaves you $99 to put towards something that really makes a difference.
