----Throttle Body Spacer----
 

Can anyone who has installed a Throttle body spacer give me some stats on improved mpg and hp? and is Airaid the way to go!

Is it worth the money! :)

Haven't used a spacer, but I'm very skeptical that they do any good on Vortec engines.

Vortec heads are already designed to swirl the air right before it hits the injectors. But if the spacer promotes any "swirling" at all, it's too far away to do any good. I'm more inclined to think the extra turbulence is counter-productive, since the engineers designed the heads without them. You do get more sound after you install a spacer, but I think it's the sucking sound of your money going down the drain.

imho, you're better off putting that money towards a cold-air intake and high performance exhaust.

I have one on mine. I can't say I have noticed any difference with or without it. When I put one on my Dakota I noticed a difference but I also had a K&N FPK and a Flowmaster exhast system. It can't hurt..... I get 15 mpg around town and 12 towing 4,400 lbs.

Don't you think if the engineers could get a bit more HP and mpg with a throttle body spacer it would be designed in at the factory?

Some engines now have longer intake manifold runners which kind of simulates the old high rise manifolds.

Save your money for cheaper gas...:beerchug:

Does that airad air intake system make a noticable difference? I have a gibson exhast and iv been looking into the intake but i dont know if i will see a difference in performance??

Had one on my old Z-71. It didn't really make any differance but, made a cool whistling sound though.

well i have a tbs and a k&n filter and I get a solid 16-17 city and 20-22 highway

Re: ----Throttle Body Spacer----
 

So to summarize:
1: don't touch the engine!
2: Exhaust is cool for sound
3: Air intake is good for consumption

That's it?

OH CHIT !!!

He saw it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

H-3's have FACTORY COLD AIR INTAKES

Why doesn't anyone believe OLD MEN? We have more experence then you...

The air box in the engine compartment is sealed and air is fed from the right wheel well area. Don't use an oil based intake filter, BAD for the sensors.

Put your hard earned money into an exhaust system or HORNSBY's HARD CIDER (much better then beer 5.5% alc)

OR

Just send it to me for my H-3 lookalike wheel chair !!!
