    you can make one, by buying like, 3/4 inch plexi glass, and take your throttle body off, and cut it to size, then trace the inside and cut it out with a dremel tool. and buy another gasket for both sides.

        I got mine from ZZP and like it other than the fact it came with one gasket and I wanted two. I shouldnt have to reuse an old gasket. O'well, didnt cost nothin'

          did it help out anything? Also how much did it cost to have your gears and LSD done?

              gains are minimal from a tb spacer, should probably be one of your last bolt on mods really

                Not if you're interested in better gas mileage. The power gains are minimal, but I picked up about 2 mpg after i installed mine, and I'm sure it's already paid for itself. It's money well spent.

                  3 questions. where can you get a small peice of plexi glass. won't you need longer bolts? should work the same on a 3.4L right?

                    nevermind. I just thought it out. you would need to find a way to lenghten the throttle cables. thats why zzp only sells them for 99+. they have an elctronic throttle cable.

                        don't use plexi glass. use acetal-delrin stuff off of ebay or something.

                        Here is a link, but it is pretty thin at .313", should be around 3/4" for a spacer
