Here's some dyno sheets from NA cars with just the pipe added:

Again, not HUGE gains, but gains for sure. I'm hoping to get positive results myself. Already did some datalogging yesterday since I was off, and had to add some fuel (as much as 5% in spots), so it's doing what it's supposed to do.

TB spacers only work on " carbureator" type throttle bodies that mix air and fuel together before it is sent thru the manifold. The spacer helps mix the fuel and air better by giving it more time to mix and helps it swirl together to make a better mixture before its trip thru the manifold to the cylinders to be burned.

The throttle body on our truck only flows air, the fuel is added at each cylinder when the computer demands it so it never really mixes like it does on a TBI equipped vehicle.

And a spacer on our trucks really does nothing at all so its a waste of money.
