LOL...

VERY good point....

The problem is, internet (forums) have a way of spreading wrong information from person to person with no first or even second hand info. I would suggest people do the research and make sure the people giving advice has actually tried/test it first hand. Thus....

BEFORE my truck was fast.... lol.... I had exhaust, throttle body spacer, cai, and a hand held tuner. I noticed more gain with the spacer over all other mods I also noticed a increase in gas mileage..... MY FIRST hand experience may not be the same as others, but it is mine..... More importantly though. All those mods my truck was still a SLOW POS......

I have got one, someone can have for free to try out if they want to pay shipping! The only reason I bought it was to tap it for my PCV vent line when I swapped intakes...

ok, explain this to me bro... HPE, LME, HKE, W2W... all the top of the LS1 world... why have NONE of them ever even suggested a spacer of any kind to any of their customers? they don't even stock them... if it was a part that would make power they would...

How much to ship it. I have a brother in law that wants one real bad. PM me a paypal address and a price. On a side note, I used one on my 98 silverado and noticed a small improvement in throttle response but no mileage gains. I would have to say for what they cost, they are not worth it.
