Throttle Body Spacer

[aggieblazer07]

I've been thinking about getting one for my 91 chevy. Would it improve my gas mileage enough to justify getting one?

i've got one on my truck and dont remember that i noticed much of a change in mileage or power....but it only cost like $15 in aluminum and i made it myself so i wasnt out much by doing it.

don't waste your money, unless "da whistle" is important to you
(I have an airaid on a '97 350 vortec and gave no increase in power or gas mileage...only makes a kind of cool turbo whistle sound when you get on it)

[jerryg79]

mine makes that whistle noise without the spacer

[uglyota]

well isn't that special? :p

So does mine dodge

So does mine dodge
turbo whistle simulated by exhaust air spinning a turbine connected to another turbine that compresses intake air? How clever...sounds like a lot of trouble just for a whistle, though
:D

spend the hundred bucks on gas cause it isnt gonna really help.

[aggieblazer07]

Are there any other cheap engine mods I can do, cause my gas mileage sucks. I have a K&N filter that helped some, but I still get 11 mpg around town in a mostly stock truck

search "gas mileage"....there was an extensive thread on it.

my sub makes a whissle sound... it is due to interference but it is cool when you floor it... its like woooo

[uglyota]

... its like woooo
you gotta be wearin a mumu and sponge curlers to imitate the sound of a tornado.
even if they made an x-small mumu, I think you'd still fall right through the neck hole :D

look in another thread+ i added a tbs and airaid to 97 chevy after going from 32-33 and it helped alot.-acceleration-didnt help gas that much. try exhaust also. putting a tbs on 89 surburban tonight so well see what it does.

[uglyota]

the airaid helped your throttle response, but probably didn't help your fuel economy. I'd be surprised if the spacer did anything by itself...

...except go "woooo"
:D

[texasxj]

well we got the tbs on my buddys 89 surbarbie. dont know about gas yet-but definitely helped acceleration.
