So, if you are on a budget, why throw$100away on a useless item like a throttle body spacer? You don't feel any improvement in horsepower because there isn't any. You could have saved your money forfuture beneficial investments, such asan intake and tune, exhaust improvements or new gears.

dont know howmany times i've said this in MANY other threads...DON'T TOUCH THE THROTTLE BODY ON THESE CARS...THERE IS NO BENEFIT!
They are already so fine tuned you wont notice a difference...

the only time it will make a difference is if you have done FULL intake work (intake, charge plates, AND cylinder heads...) AND full exhaust (valves, headers, etc)
