RE: I want a throtle body spacer!
HAVE YET TO HEAR OF ANY MILEAGE INCREASE BECAUSE I'M TOLD IT DOESN'T MIX THE FUEL WITH THE AIR. IF YOU HAD A CARB THAT'S DIFFERENT,IT HELPED ON MY BIKE BEHIND THE S&S CARB. HOW ABOUT IT PEOPLE ANYBODY GETTING THE MILEAGE THEY CLAIM?

RE: I want a throtle body spacer!
Never tried it. Seems too risky a purchase to me. I'm more likely to drop money on something like that if costs a whole lot less. I personally can't see how grooves in a spacer, that puts my fuel source further away from the spark can help my power, but I'm no engineer, despite what my rank says...

RE: I want a throtle body spacer!
i have not gotten it yet.. i am still thinking about it but i have to see more reviews of it. My friend has a 1996 tahoe sport 350 vortech with one on it and it makes a nice whistle sound. Thats about all i know about it for now.

RE: I want a throtle body spacer!
I agree. I like to hear from a few non-baised folks before I try something. Sometimes even the pros get it wrong. I heard before to roll down the windows and not run the AC. however, it's been proven that driving with the AC on is better than the drag from windows down.

... not that anything I've heard is or is not biased, I just like to find people that i trust and that have given me good advice before ... technically, everyone is biased.

You're not gonna see any performance gains really and it isn't gonna hurt you either. It will just make a whistling noise. There are a number of places you can get it from. stylinconcepts.com, streetbeatcustoms.com, summitracing.com, ebay.

weren't these standard with 5 cyl engines? Or was that an optional engine? Originally Posted by Bystrack2006
