Default Throttle Body Spacer???

I have searched prior posts about spacers, and was looking for more information. Has anyone actually installed one? And if so what gain or loss in performace mpg did you see. Thanks!

i havent put one on myself but i can speak for a lot of people. the only thing a TBS does is add a few pounds to your car.

Thanks, I was curious as to if it would hurt the truck, I reallt just want a way to put a N20 nozzel in without drilling and tapping any of my factory parts or CIA.

I gotta ask; if you did do a search on "throttle spacers" and read the responses, you would already know that they are a big waste of money; they do nothing for fuel mileage or any noticable HP/TQ gains.

So why are you still persuing the use of one?

....and a few less 20's (5) out of your wallet. Don't waste your money, invest it into a CAI, Tuner or both. That will give your more performance than a TBS.

well no, but one of my friends put one on his truck, he didnt notice anything, the TBS is better suited for carb engines, but for your idea yea i think that would be work pursing u would spend prob 100 bucks on the TBS and then your could drill it out and if it didnt work you would have hurt any factory or CAI, so i wont take your money for this one lol
