    just by itself. It seems as though most everyone is having positive reviews/experiences with it.

    No offense, and I could be wrong, sounds like snake oil. You could get 1-2 mpg by modifying driving habits. I have had many motor modded vehicles and a simple spacer was never useful for much other than spacing. Just my .02

    May I add I've seen you drive. You won't get 1-2 mpg with your foot in it no matter what you try. 95mph lol....

    Mmmmmm, snake oil, lol. Yeah, I know what you mean. I was not going to buy one, but the opportunity presented itself and decided to go for it. I am currently getting 14-15mpg......I will do most anything to improve that......for later, when I have armor that will weigh the truck down.

    Many also say that throttle resoonse is better. Also that the truck "gets up and goes" alot sooner/quicker. Idle is also better, so they say.

    :rofl: I know. On my trips from Lubbock to the Triangle, I usually drive 80-95+. This last trip was no exception. On my first trip, I got 14.7. This last trip, I got 16.8.....I changer plugs and cleaned the MAFsensor before heading down. That was with alot of hills and downshifting/overtaking on 2 lane highways. Slowly on my way to "good" mpg's

    Yea, I can admit I know nothing about it or how much it cost. 1-2 mpg, not a big deal. If it cost over $100 I could find other parts to improve mileage at a much better rate.

    Yeah, I agree with you there. But the spacer is only $40.......I don't mind spending that. Should pay for itself after a couple of tanks.

    You gonna make a big ass motorcycle type fairing?
    I haven't researched near as much as you have but from experience the programmer or intake don't work near as well separate as combined.
