On a port injected motor, such as ours.... the spacer does all of nothing.

Do you really need a paperweight in the digital age?

Our trucks do not have TBI. TBI stands for Throttle Body injection. Meaning carburator...and chevy.

We have MPFI. Multi Port Fuel Injection.

You will get absolutely NO gains.

the throttle body spacer might add one horsepower...mine did a tiny little bit of throttle response...nothing special. Good luck getting it to work with the dang intake!!

No, its called, "I just spent 60 dollars for nothi9ng, so I need to justify it."

I put an MSD ignition and a hypertech coil in my truck and noticed nothing.
