Since I'll be installing the air intake system and a programmer, I was wondering if anyone has had anything positive to say about throttle spacers.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Sorry, but does this mean you haven't installed one on a 6.0L or "NO, DON'T INSTALL ONE ON A 6.0L"? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Actually, I think he means that there is nothing positive to say about installing one on the 6.0L. As in reference to the question.

Yes, I have the Power Aid spacer by Air Raid I noticed a little difference, however the truck sounds like Night Rider now.

I know people say they do not work. Just look up Bernoulli's Principal and Ventri effect and put that in your naysayer pipe and smoke it.

Does anyone know what the best naysayer pipe is? I don't have one and want to get the best. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Your truck talks to you and calls you "Michael" now that you added the spacer? Wierd.

No, it makes a random high pitch noise like when KITT is just cruising around. The ricers think I got some kinda Twin turbo NOS thing going on http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I think Graphix makes the best naysayer pipe http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Better to spend money on aftermarket MAF sensor, will try to find brand for ya and A cold air intake. Then go to exhaust. If still not satisfied squeeze in the air with a magna charger. A tb spacer will not help (noticably) in performance or milage on the 6l but could be added to help with other mods but personaly and from talking to customers was a waste of money. Just mine and a few others opinions.

What about Headers? I'm not much of a car guy, but the place where I got my Magnaflow installed suggested JBA Headers?
