    I've heard mixed reviews on throttle body spacers. I've heard that they aren't worth it for the price, and I've also heard that they add up to 15hp. Just want to hear some advice from some guys that know personally, or have a good idea.

    Have one, No noticeable gains... but sounds nuts when accelarating, especially when shifting...

    My opinion, $100.00 could of went towards a more noticeable mod, ie... Tint.

    I've heard that it would make a really bitchin' paper weight. It could actually double the horsepower of your desk! :p
