You will get some power from the throttle body maybe 5hp but not much more if your not supercharged. If you want to pay $80 for a tb spacer and maybe gain 1hp go ahead. If you could find an intake spacer, that would give you some decent hp gains but I have never seen any for a v6.

The purpose for the throttle body is to get more air flow for forced air or Nitrous. It does add HP's on a natural asperated engine as well, but the best part about a big TB is for quicker throttle response which is great!!! Less hesitation means quicker launch.

not enough HP difference to justify the price of the TB & Spacer.
