Save your money and buy a tune, THAT will get you a performance improvement.

yeah a tune ,and 4:10 are in the works! just wanted some ones results with a throttle body spacer, same principal as an intake spacer, adding more volume to the intake

I've heard of some CV guys seeing noticeable improvements on their 2V motors after adding a throttle body spacer, but not so much from the 4V guys, unless somebody's beern holding out on us.

I have one a bit larger, maybe 1-1/2". Didin't notice any gain, or loss, but it came with the intake spacer. It does give the tuner fits though.

I have a 1'' and it brought my idle up about 200 rpm. Felt like a little more off the line too.

I seem to recall one member installing it and having problems getting the car to run right and throwing codes, ended up taking it back off and the problem was fixed.

ive had one on my car for a while. no real differance. but i did notice my gas consuption was getting bad. so i took it off. my milage got better. i guess the rubber one i got from vararam was crushed and air was leaking out. not worth it.

Nexstar7 - how are you going to hit 11's? Are you going to use Nitrous or S/C?

i used to have a marauder sailsmen. but i keep in touch with the boys from the site. great bunch. my mods posted are on a 2006 gto. if i were going to go 11's, i'd try to go on motor only.
