throttle body
RE: throttle body
Send me the money you wanted to spend on the throttle body spacer, and I wont send you anything. By doing this, I will actually be saving you horsepower, considering the fact that a truck with MPFI (Multi Port Fuel Injection) like yours and mine. If your truck was carburated or used a TBI (Throttle Body Injection) system, then you would see gains. However, with MPFI, a throttle body spacer is nothing more than an expensive paperweight. Furthermore, dyno results have shown that you will lose on average 2-5 RWHP and 3-7 lbs of torque.
Long explination, but I am sure you would wonder why.
*Edit*
You can still send me the money though, and consider it adding 2-5 rwhp and 3-7 ft/lbs.

RE: parts
Foget the "trottle body spacer" and get a V8 "trottle body" that opens up the intake to let more fuel in, to go with that add a Cold Air Intake, AirAid or K&N is my vote for the best.....that will take up most of the $400.00 but with your exhaust it will be the best match for mods......that is a good basic start for the V6....good luck and enjoy.

You don't need to spend 400 bucks on a V8 TB. There is a guy on ebay selling P&P units for under 200 that work great. I know because I have one.

And at www.krcperformance.net they did a dyno with adding a version of the same thing and it added 12HP and 39ft-lbs. (was on an R/T V8, but you get the jist) Click the dyno link and scroll down till you see 50 CNC Throttle body dyno.
If you have intake and exhaust already and are itching to spend 400 bucks, I would go with that TB, a underdrive pulley, and a 180 stat. With those additions you should see some noticable gains. Also depending on miles you have, don't forget regular maintainence, some people forget the little stuff you know.
