good bolt on?

Anybody have any experience with throttle body spacers? Just want to know if they are worth putting on and if so, what is the best brand?

Almost entirely useless on our modern engines. I wouldn't waste your money.

Yea they are essentially paper weights. If anything getting a larger throttle body would help but not a spacer

Ok, if i get a larger throttle body, will that help or hurt MPG and what would HP gain be? What would be a good one to get as far as company product?

Minimal hp gain, much better throttle response (you'll feel it), cost around $200 or so depending where you get it. No difference in mpg's

If you want to run nitrous you can the spacer

I figured that the general concensus would be that this was basically a waste of money and time. I have read a lot of posts on here and probably 95% of the replies have said what was said here.
