Question for you guys. I saw where somebody over on Chevytruckworld.com posted that on rpmoutlet.com you could buy a intake, throttle body spacer and programmer for $499 that they say, and prove with dyno charts, to give +35 hp and +42 lb ft. of torque on a 2003 5.3L Silverado when all used together. My question is, I have a K&N FIPK 2 and Superchips programmer, 2 out of the 3 in the set up they sell, would buying a Throttle body spacer to put on in conjunction with my intake and programmer be worth it. Especially if I could get one on ebay for a good deal??? And what kind is a brand that you guys know of???

And for that matter, how about a throttle body bypass?? That's only like $9.

 

I have a helix TB spacer on the old grocery getter, but all it really does is make an amusing noise. Just a little FYI, the K&N kit will not work with the spacer without some altercations (unless you have e-fans.)

 

PLease don't fall for the spacer routine! The combo you have makes more power than if you added a spacer to it.

 

Thats what I figured. I just wanted to make sure. I've never heard anything good about TB Spacers, but wanted to make sure I havn't missed something. Thanks guys.

 

do you feel like gettting rid of your amusing noise? i need one to push my intake tube farther out forward.

 

No I think I need to hang on to it, I wouldn't know what to do without seeing the confused look on the faces of the rice boys

 

I'd spend the money on a custom tune and sell the hand held.

 

don't bother buying anything for the throttle body bypass when you can do it for free. just take the line off the pass. side of the throttle body, then remove the short peice from the driver side to the crossover tube and stick the hose that was on the pass side on the cross over tube, done and FREE... I'll take half of what I saved you for a tip

 

mine wouldnt reach without lookin ugly under there

 

hey man, I got one for ya....just PM me.
