Nope there a waste of money. Our trucks have multi port fuel injection. The only thing they're good for is somewhere to put nitrous lol.

Probably should have asked this question before you spend the money.

Throttle body spacers do absolutely nothing on our trucks. (aside from the aforementioned "spot for nitrous"......) There is no fuel in the air stream at that point for the spacer to help mix. Its a gimmick. That's it.

I don't have one, but I've heard they make good paper weights.

Say...
If you're that wealthy I can pm you my paypal addy and you can send me some of your excess cash rather than waste it on mods that do nothing.
I wouldn't mind having some new carpet for my truck...

...just sayin'

You'd have better results if you visited a Voodoo priest and sacrificed a chicken.

How much horsepower is that worth? Would I get more if I sacrificed a cow instead? What about one of my neighbors???
