Re: throttle body spacer
Save your money, T/B spacers have little to no effect on port injected engines.

It's like clinebarger said, there is no effect on engines that don't mix the fuel with the air before the intake manifold, like a TPI or carbed engine. If you add one to your LS-base motor, like the 5.3, it will only make a whistle sound and that's it, no power increase, NO mpg increase. And spiraling the air pattern there before the intake manifold doesn't do anything except disturb it's flow before it goes to each cylinder... ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS! can't believe some of these "respectable" companies are still pushing that crap and getting away with it... ridiculous. |
