    Throttle body spacer ?

    I can get a used 1" tbs for $50 from a buddy he said it helps gas milage and helps alittle on bottom end. Is it worth the money?

    That is the only way that it will really make any difference.

    I believe Greg picked up a mile or two per gallon with his. That's worth it in my opinion.

    Didn't change my gas mileage that I know of. I rag on the truck too much to ever check fuel mileage. It did however lower my ETs. The spacer got me down to 8.009 in the eighth with no other modifications.

    I swear on my life that my times picked up when I put the spacer on and no other mods. No spray ran through it to improve the times either. I don't understand it because its a straight through bore. I do have an LS2 intake and 90mm TB though.
