    Throttle Body Spacer

    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)

    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

    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

    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

    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"
