hye fella's.. anybody have a throttle body spacer? i was thinkin about them and wondering if you can tell any difference in power or fuel mileage?????

 

Nope.. Don't waste your money.

 

Don't do it!!!!

 

its a sales gimmick, i cant see how that little bitty spacer is supposed to help that much, now a bigger throttle body, i can go for that, lol

 

GO FOR IT!!! I hear they make a really nice/expensive paper weight...

 

i agree...i got one with my AEM intake and it makes a really good door stopper too lol

 

They are a gimick! These trucks are direct port injection, the swirling air theory helps atomize the fuel/air mixture, this does not apply to DPI. thay might help on throttle body injection, but thats about it. Its A 100.00$ whistler!!

 

I got a good buddy, who, while at mechanic tech school (he's a big rig diesel mech. now) says they did a study on throttle body spacers & that "tornado" thingy that used to be on the infomercials. He said the tornado didn't do squat, but in GM 305's & 350's the TBS showed good gains, about as much as a CAI. He's talked EVERYBODY he knows with those engines into letting him put one in, and a few Fords & Dodge 318's & 360's too.
When I got my Hemi, I asked him about it and he told me I would see no, or next to no, benefit. He said the newer GM motors like 4.8, 5.3 it didn't do sqaut on. He told me why, but I wasn't paying attention by then. Anyway he said none of the newer engines would see any benefit by it...

 

Oh man! Door stopper.. That's a new one! I'll keep that in mind the next time some one mentions they want a throttle body spacer!!!

 

Really good product, It really made a nice deco in my garage. The best part is that everyone keeps asking "what is this".So i have to explain that i purchased this for my truck spent 100.00 bucks and half an hr installing it, and made no difference what so ever. lol. It is a real peice of caca.
