Default does the poweraid t/b spacer work

I'm thinking about buying the poweraid t/b spacer for my 2003 2500 HD. Does this work?. Enough to make a difference anyhow?. Just bought the truck and would like to make a little power. Just boght a Volant intake. PM me any ideas for good boltons.

NO the throttle body spacer does not work we had a member on here( i forgot his name) that proved it on a dyno i think he actually lost 1or 2 hp

headers, cat-back exhaust, UDP ,efans, tune, gears, are all good boltons

Our engines are direct port injected. Only air enters thru the throttle body.

i have to call bs on this unless you did another mod at the same time the physics just dont support it

if a bolton gave us this much mileage without hurting power wouldnt we all have one?....

a TB spacer has better use as a paperweight or wiping my *** with it, plain and simple. the bullshit of "makes the air spiral" is so retarded, it might make your eyes spiral lookin at it, but it aint gonna do **** for your truck except make you think it gained power/mpg since it goes "wooosh" everytime you step on it

also, I hear there's this spacer they put on the ls6 that's big and black and bolts directly to the heads. im thinkin about gettin one

Unfortunately there are quite a few products 'out there' that are a true waste of money. Seems like they all guarantee 15hp and better milage too.

That's what makes this site so great, we have tried and tested. Now we share. You can listen.
