RE: Throttle body spacers
dont waste money on a tbs. if u really wanna do something with ur throttle setup, jus buy new throttle body, like the ones from TheFastMan.com. they actually do something other than make noise and eat $ out of ur wallet

Ha, you do not lose power with a TBS. IF you buy a TBS thats worth anything at all it will have rifled groves in it to spin air in a circular direction which in all since helps gas milage, cools air, which creates power and also makes a cool sound. ALSO it is used to displace heat coming from the intake manifold. It is proven to show drops anywhere from 3-15* in temp depending on the application. You really wont see to much gain using one but i like them.
I like to use this in root SC'd applications because it helps with high temps on the TB
But like i said, you wont see much gain, if any, i like them and they dont hurt anything so if you got a few extra bucks buy it, i would in no way say you are waisting your money.

TB spacers/Tornado gizmos are worthless on an EFI engine.

I have an airaid TBS on my 98 dakota i had it dynoed b4 and after the fact of the throttle body spacer. It gave me 10 more horsepower and i had a lot more cooler air than i did b4. I noticed a lil difference also in my throttle response. PLus it also makes a sick whistle sound.
