    Thanks. I don't see that doing too much for me. Of course - I like my stock 4 banger! ;)

    I never dyno’ed my truck to know for certain but a throttle body spacer did seem to increase power on the low end for me. The whistle noise can be annoying to some people but I enjoy it. My exhaust masks the noise now, though.
