Throttle Body Spacer
 
Anyone put one on?
Any change in performance?
I have teh Gibson bolt on exhaust and didn't relaly notice much of a cahnge. Went from 15.2 Avg MPG to about 16.0.
Added the Airaid intake kit and went from 16.0 to about 18.8.
Not sure if the throttle body spacer which is about 100 bucks makes any kinf difference.

DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you will loose power you air/fuel ratio will be way off the chart and your computer wont recognize it and you will loose a ton of power and gas mileage will drop to around 11 mpg

Not sure if anyone has them yet but headers, ignition, and a programmer might help a bit.

Yeah it will increase performance and gas milage by .00001% It does mess with the air flow cuz some super charged cars don't like the swirled ones.

I bought one on eBay and put it on. The air made a nifty noise when you hit the gas. It made a 20% difference in mileage. MPG went from 16.8 to 13.6. I sold it on eBay for what I paid for it.

Good thing i didn't drop the 100 for it.
Says on the website that it boosts HP and MPG!
Lying Bastards!
