    Guys I'm considering a throttle body spacer, but anyone know what gives the best gains?

    Ive been looking at the Helix, AFe, or Airaid. Other then the obvious price differences, is there anything better about then the others?

    like previously stated, they are completely useless in our trucks, they do function when used in the right vehicle. but not our trucks.
