Throttle Body Spacer - myth or magic???
In the relentless pursuit of speed, the captioned item recently caught my attentiion in the Mid-America catalogue. Juset owndering if anyone out there has used one and if it made a difference (MA claims to increase hp by 15-20 ponies). And if there was a difference, was it at the low-end, mid-range or top end.

Not worth it. From what was posted about it earlier, you will get the same answer from a lot of other people.
If you want some inexpensive mods you can do the following; Cut the lid on your air filter and get a K&N, if you don't already have one; throttle body bypass; take the screens off the MAF; gut the cat; and there are some others that people might chime in with.

Cheep mods. Nitros Oxide(NO2). THE MOST HP FOR THE $$$. I don't like NO2 but if your just looking for HP it works. :cool:

Nitrous is cheap in the beginning, but then it starts to get costly after you have to buy parts to accomidate it. Which I am finding out right now. I am running Nitrous Express.

Our runners are long ENOUGH on the L98, please don't go adding MORE length to them. :)

:lol: In that sense. In theory, wouldn't that increase torque? Probably only .03ftlbs if anything, but still.

In theory it should, but at the same time it will decrease HP.
