Ask around the people who put their truck on dyno's and get no change. Do some research on here. If they made a difference I'd of bought one but they do not

They tend to make a difference in the "seat of your pants" dyno. As in, you THINK there is a difference to convince yourself the mod was worth it.

Noise. That's about all.

Had them before on previous vehicles, makes the intake a good bit louder. That's pretty much it tho.

They have a use, but I doubt anyone running a 3.7 in a foolsize truck is planning on using NOS...

They can make a difference on a carb or throttle body injection motor because it gives more time for the air and fuel to mix BUT on anything modern with multi-port fuel injection or direct injection the fuel isn't added until well downstream of the throttle body so it serves no purpose unless you're going to drill and tap it for NOS jets.

Throttle body spacer= the perfect paper weight.. Go with a BBK complete new throttle body or nothing... Complete gimmick.. And poor quality usually

For as often as I hear them reffered to as paper weights, i'd like to buy a couple used ones and use them as such...
