hey i kinda look at it like this, every little bit helps and plus if you get a programmer and cai already it gives you something to do... everyone just has cai,exhaust,programmer,maybe gears so eventually you need somethin else to do and well why not a tbs?

Thats a good point, but I would rather have other mods first.

Ya things like the tornado are widely thought of as gimmicks that have little if no positive benefits, if u think about it tornado like products just basically do more harm than good by obstructing air flow. Now Throttle body spacers are often tossed in there with the ranks of those types of gimmicks since a lot of them are put on Fuel injected vehicles such as ours where it doesnt seem like it would do much good as it may on a carburated vehicle, BUT many who talk down about spacers many times don't have any hard proof that they help or not, just what they have heard and in many cases experienced themselves. So just know u arent the only one to have purchased one, and not the only person who has said it feels as though the throttle response seems better etc...some people see/feel it, and some people don't. I have never owned one, so I couldn't tell u whether or not they work or not, but I say if u have the money why not use your own judgement and experience to make decisions when there is no hard facts to prove otherwise

The theory behind a TB spacer is that it elongates the intake runners for more low end torque. I Know that they are not worth the money. It goes back to what your happy with.
