Default Throttle Body Spacer....Do they work?
Do TBS actually work? Seems so simple. Any brands or recommendations? If Cold Air Intake is good. Is CAI and TBS better?

Any help is appreciated

lol this topic has come up alot ...and guess what i bought the damn thing and nope the tbs does nothing......all these guys on here say if anything you lose 5 hp , and when i had it on, you have a new whistling sound when you accerlerate! supposively everybody has had the same prob. so i took it off. as a good alternative, i have a 70 mm throttle body on order from airram, maybe + 5 hp instead!

Ok thats what I thought as well. Has anyone ever seen a manufacturer provide dyno data showing hp/torque gains?

hp/torque gains for a TBS or CAI? there are some for CAIs, I dont think you'll find one for TBS (since there aren't any gains and all)
