I'll be picking up the new TBS (throttle body spacer) today. I think for the little work it needs to be put in and the great price I got ,I'll see if it does any improvments.
What I need from one of you is .... Is there a torque setting for the throttlebody bolts?
Any help would be great ....Thanks!!

Everyone whose tried one says they make alot of noise and don't do a whole lot for performance.

Indeed, worthless wastes of money, return it ASAP, and search "spacer" here if you need convincing...

That's a new one - just curious, how does it save fuel?

Are you going to do any kind of before and after comparison? Heck if it works, I'll try it - but I must admit I am a little skeptical after reading previous posts on the subject...

Keep us informed!

Some of the vendors that sell them, have done reviews and have even said that it does nothing. They still sell them though... :rolleyes:

I put it in today.
I'll see what it does or dosen't.
Don't know, if you don't try.
So many of you just can't wait to shoot down ideas or things that others want to try on this board. Give it a rest. [Argue] [ThumbsDown]

That's fine. People are just trying to help you. What do we gain if you waste your money on something useless? What do we gain if you don't?

Actually, it has been tried, so we do know!

Exactly. It has been tried here and proven to be worthless. You must have missed that post when you got the info you needed. We are only trying to help you save your money not ours.
