get a programmer if you want some power. tb spacer are a waste of money and just make whistling sounds when you get on the throttle. an exhaust should help out nicely, have you taken a look at the size of the oem muffler? its huge, heavy, and restrictive.

Waste of money.Tell you what.Send me the money for the throttle body spacer and i will put that money to better use.Does nothing for our trucks.Like said above,makes a whistle sound and gets you laughed at if you show someone the spacer.

The only way I can see a use for a TB spacer is using it as a nitrous plate. Other than that it makes a great door stop.
