Default ram 1500 hemi THROTTLE BODY SPACER?

Hello all,

I have been looking into a Throttle Body Spacer for my 2006 1500 Hemi and I wanted to get some feedback on them.

Throttle body spacers don't do anything for port injected vehicles. They can be used for other things, like when more clearance is needed, but do not increase performance any.

Also, for future reference:

Get two - you'll have double the useless whistle.

LMAO!!!


'Tis true though. They did give small gains back when fuel was mixed at the throttle body, but now with a fuel rail system they don't do a thing...

+1. I noticed a difference in MPG (1-2) on two older Chevy Tahoes I had with the 350's, but they don't do anything for these trucks.

They make these trucks much faster because your wallet is much lighter, so the truck/driver weighs less

Seriously, like others have said, there is no fuel in the intake manifold to atomize, so they are pretty much pointless.
