throttle body spacers??

[bigblue09]

are they worth it??
does it have noticeable gains??
i really want more power as cheap as possible.

on this other web site i belonged to with my 04 impala SS one guys signature was close to the truth as you can get it said "fast, reliable & cheap. But you can only chose two" now the TB spacers even on those cars were BS. so on the trucks i think the resalts are going to be about the same

I agree...just another way of a company getting into a persons wallet. "Hey it's only $50 & I can do it on Saturday afternoon!" Even IF it is good for 4-5 ft.lbs/hp, your not going to feel it. My Two cents, Lorne

[bigblue09]

oh ok. thats what i thought. thanks you guys.

i noticed low end torque with mine. before i couldnt get my truck to spin my
275's and it does it alot easier now. just my two cents, like they said they are  not big gains but mine was noticable

[bigblue09]

do you have a 350 or a 305?

The TB spacers help out on MPG also.

[bigblue09]

thats what i have heard but are they really worth the money??

[Captkaos]

The people that have use the CFM tech stuff said they gained about 15hp and about 3mpg.

You can pickup more air by using an injector pod spacer also.

[bigblue09]

hmm. thanks. i might look into that. anything would help.

For a 1" to 2" Spacer, they do offer one of the Cheaper Gains with Performance and MPG increase, but those Gains are mainly geared towards a Carb or TBI Setups...   The thing with a Carb/TBI Spacer, is that it helps the fuel Atomization and AirFlow, where as the Throttle Body Spacer an '04 Impala uses, changes the In coming air flow rather than anything with the Fuel.... Changing or Increasing the Airflow to a FI Car/Truck without modifying the PCM to compensate for those changes, would result in the PCM Leaning or Enriching the Fuel Flow, along with it automatically Retarding/Advancing the timing, which would have a negative effect on said Performance/MPG's....

Really any Car/Truck with an ECM/PCM '85-Present would benefit from having the Chip or Computer Flashed to help see the best performance/MPG grains from any perticular mods done to the engine/drivetrain....

Every little bit helps.  I wouldn't expect much of a gain but I don't see why it wouldn't help.

[bigblue09]

yea thats true. im going to do exhaust before i do anything else.

[Irish_Alley]

i see what your saying about the tbi/carb setup and the fi cars, that somewhat makes sense but what about the "tornado" creating a "vortex" and boosting mpg and hp. and what about the fuel line magnets lol
