RE: jetchip
Here is a picture of my spacer (RED) held up behind my throttle body with the butterfly open.... as you can see... the ID of the spacer is MUCH smaller than the ID of the throttle body... That is a RESTRICTION and RESTRICTIONS do NOT make HP nor do they help in fuel economey.

RE: jetchip
cool, thanks you, guess i`ll get a superchip then, also, since i`m using different tire size in summer and winter times, it`s getting expensive to change the pignon factor twice a year at the dealer.

The throttle body spacer is complete SNAKEOIL as well... dont waste your money on a spacer! They have no place on an engine that is MULTI PORT fuel injected. This means the air and fuel are introduced to each other at the end of each intake runner. Your intake is DRY and there is NOTHING but air in it. The spacers all advertise to increase atomization of fuel/air... BUT HOW when the intake is DRY and there is NO fuel and air to be mixed in the intake? Spacers can be used to help tune Throttle body injected engines or carburated engines but they offer NOTHING to a Muilti Port fuel injected engine since the fuel is introduced just prior to the intake valve.
With a spacer best case you will NOT lose any HP (and you sure as heck wont gain any) and Worse case the spacer becomes a restriction and actualy hurts performance.
