Default Throttle body spacer
Are they really worth the extra cash?

On an engine that sprays fuel before the throttle body, yes. After no. Basically with an LSx based engine it's a waste.

My spacer has a nice nitrous nozzle and fuel nozzle on the sides of it. So what i mean is unless its a nitrous plate kit, dont bother.

best mod hands down. wish i could afford one, still paying off this converter and cam, what a waste of money. shouldve bought a tb spacer instead, I heard they work best with the superchips or the hypertech.

If putting on one gives you you 5 hp, think what 5 or 10 of them would do.
