Throttle Body spacer?
Hey guys i was thinking of getting this: Airaid 400-527 - Airaid Poweraid TBS Throttle Body Spacers - Overview - SummitRacing.com
i was curious if its worth it? i'm trying to get as much out of the engine as i can without replacing the cam and other internal parts.

Sorry there are no shortcuts to power on these engines, the exhaust is the only major bottleneck on the exterior of the motor, everything else that needs attention is inside.

There are plenty of other bolt on items to get you some more power. Search and you will turn up about 1000 threads with info on making more power.
Headers and exhaust
A GOOD "CAI"
Electric fan/s
Underdrive pulleys
Bump up the timing and do the 6 liter tune up
Maybe look into re gearing. Wont add HP but sure will make a difference.
Also if you have an E4OD get you a Punisher valve body to get that thing shifting good.

The money they get for these lil "marvels" is just outta sight. Like I always say..."Warren Johnson could likely see a difference, you won't".

i like how it says that the tb spacer is "the" key element in hp gains. they talk like its the only thing you need for horsepower. if you dont have a tb spacer your slow and have no power hahahaha
