Default Throttle body spacer?

I have an 05' lariat crew cab 4x4 with 133k miles, k&n cold air intake, flowmaster catback exhaust, & just installed my edge evolution tuner tonight.. :-)

Do the throttle body spacers really work? Is it worth the $ to install? Would i even notice a difference?

It will give you a whistling noise and that's about it. Zero performance unless you are looking for a tap port for nitrous.

Throttle body spacers do make a cool looking beer holder though!

SOLD! Ima go out an get me 6 of them ther thottle body spacer thingys so I's can hold a six pack at once. Woooo-nilly!

We should start a thread and title it "USEFUL ways to use a throttle body spacer other than its USELESS intent"

Use #1: A flashy way to hold your beer!

Seriously, though, the NOS port injection idea you mentioned is actually a good one (Use #2).

Aye. Good way to hide nitro feed if tap it underneath the spacer and hide the lines.

Not that Im speaking from personal experience by any means or anything like that....hehe
