I have read different reviews and threads left and right, and no can agree on if tbs work, I have some extra cash from my tax refund and was looking for something that will give me a little extra power and mileage. I have a cai and custom exhaust and i dont have the money yet for a nelson tune. Is the throttle body spacer worth it? thanks for the help.
nope the only ones that do work have nitrous hooked to them

Hey, at least now you are $100 closer to that tune.

there are a few guys that say they have them and i was trying to figure out why.
I'll give you my first hand experience. I had one on my truck for a while...thought it was awesome for a while. Started to notice a drop in mileage...about 2-3mpg DECREASE. So I pulled it off and as soon as I closed the bonnet and took a drive I could feel a big time difference in throttle response and an increase in power (according to my butt dyno).
I have been thinking about sending it to Nitro Dave and seeing if he will turn it into a worthless pile of crap into a 150hp gain.
