Aftermarket TB's do nothing unless you're heavily modified and can make use of the additional airflow. The stock TB's flow as well as necessary to handle most bolt-on modding.
If you put a TB spacer on then 90% of the forum members will come to your house, rip your head off and poop down your neck. Please, no....
But TB spacers DO make very nice Christmas ornaments. You can sit around the xmas tree and drink eggnog and let everyone laugh at you. Very nice for the holidays...

Another question, how can I deal with the pedal lag?
I'll be waiting at a red light, and as soon as I see the light turn, punch the gas, but it takes a good two-three seconds or so to feel any power, and that's at 20mph. I'm guessing its because my car is an Automatic?
And will the CAI and Tune help that?
Thanks again for dealing with my incessant chatter and questions...

A CAI & tune not only adds RWHP but also improves throttle response and shifting on your auto. There IS a method to recalibrate the throttle and it's been posted numerous times in the forum so try the search feature. It MAY help some but not to the extent a tune will.
You call it incessant chatter; I call it learning. But be prepared for some joking around...

The lag is just a problem with our V6s. We just don't have much power down low. Of course, a CAI/tune helps alot with that. There is also apparently a significant amount of "dead space" in the pedal itself, which can be corrected without too much trouble, but it has nothing to do with the throttle lag you are talking about.
The best way to fix this lack of power really is a CAI/tune. Combine that with the 4.10s in the 8.8 rearend and you will have no complaints about throttle lag.
