Default throttle body

How much power does a throttle body spacer add? Would this be a good cheap upgrade for power? http://www.overnightautoparts.com/st...&make_code=

I can't believe those are still on the market. I figured everybody finally realized what a joke they are.

Throttle body spacer -up to 20hp
tornado - up to 13hp
electric supercharger - up to 91hp
resistor mod - up to 25hp
O2 sensor "chip" - up to 25hp

EBAY is the **** for cheap tons of power!!!!

For less than cheap set of rims, I can have a real extra 175hp!!!!! Watch out Shelby's, here I come lol

For you noobs out there, none of that crap works, so don't fall for. Check on the forums before you run out and buy some too-good-to-be-true mod off of EBAY or something.

Jet is good for about 5 rwhp, at best, but it's 10X better to buy a tuner, chips were good 10 years ago, but now they're just outdated.
