Throttle Body Spacer
i was wondering if any of you guys have had any good luck with the throttle body spacers being better gas milegae like they claim they do. About 3-4 MPG better. I was just wondering if this is accurate and worth it for only $100 to get 3-4 more MPG better a gas tank...thats pretty good I think...anyways I just wanted to know if any one have heard any goods things or can let me know if it's worth it or not...

As I've posted in many of these topics, in the days of downdraft, short plenum intake systems they had their place.
But long plenum side draft systems see no benefit at all and may suffer a LOSS. This is because the energy spent swirling the air comes out of the linear velocity and what that means in short words is extra air flow resistance and reduced flow.

the reason it dont help the fuel injection is like was stated above, the fuel isn't mixed in the TB it is mixed in the ignition chamber itself.......

I have a theory... maybe SOME people think they work because they pull your throttle cable if there's slack, I put zip ties on the pedal spring and it had much better response and ran even better than when I got it. PS I just tried installing a TBS and TWO OF THE SUPPLIED BOLTS BROKE! It caused problems with my CAI position AND it was too long so when I started my truck it was already almost floored!
