has anyone tried a throttlebody spacer on theres and do you gain anything let me know just put in lingenfelter thermostat in today 160 degree one made alot of difference in the way it ran and how much cooler the engine was,also it made a big difference in everything ,
they are a waste. no gains unless tapped for nitrous.
2004 RCSB lowered 2/4 with boss 330 22" black wheels. 4.8 w/ Pacesetter LTs, ORY, 3" cutout, K&N 77 intake, 224/224 on 112 Lunati cam, 160 t-stat, W4M tune.
throttle body spacers are worthless on fuel injected motors...they were designed for carburated motors....
only benefit is if its tapped for nitrous like Chevykid said

I believe Greg picked up a tenth in the 1/4 with his - and he's fuel injected.

Well I had a blown up 1989 4.3 with missing pistons laying around my house and a friend of mine asked what I was doing with it. I was going to give it to him but he offered his 1 inch throttle body spacer for it. I put it on and actually noticed a difference on top end. Honestly what I like most about it is the cool whistling it makes around 1800 rpms.

thanks i was reading about them and they seemed like a big waste of money ,my friend wanted one for his truck so i was looking around for info on them for him,thanks
The only reason you saw any increase was because your motor had throttle body injection. I had one on my 87 with a 5.7 and it helped out also bt that was also TBI.
Step 1. crus at it.
Step 2. get a hammer.
Step 3. torch it.
NO NO NO sorry if I wrote it wrong I traded a blown up 4.3 for the tbs for my 06 4.8 and I noticed a difference on top end on the 4.8.
