Default Throttle Body Spacer

anybody got one? or tried one? they're claiming more hp and better fuel economy, but if they are anyhting like the 'tornados' for the rice burners, better gas milage comes at a price of power....

so whats the deal?

oh, got it. so the throttle body mixed with a CAI wouldnt make it a little more responsive? i dont want ridiculious power. its a daily in the northeast... but my friends dad has an 05 with a larger throttle body (supposidly) and it feels a bit more responsive than the 07 im getting.

Alarger TB can help improve throttle response, but wont make any HP unless you go over 500HP when the engine is going to need more air. Until you reach that point the CAI and a good tune will serve you well and be more reliable just my opinion.

C&L, K&N, JLT, and GMS for a tuneless CAI.

Make sure to get an X-cal 2 as your tuner, more shops use it over Superchips and Diablo.
