  • Throttle Body Spacer

    are the Throttle Body Spacers really worth buying? there is one here for about $100, and claims to give 10 hp & 12 torque

    does this part actualy work or is it a rip off?

            There is no way that a carb/tb spacer is going to give any engine 10 hp. Sorry but at best I would expect to see is a 1-1.5 hp gain anything more would be great.

              tb spacers are for when you have done everything else you can do to the engine and after that you might need one

                not worth it at $100. If it was 40-50 it would be alright to get it as a last mod

                  $45 from zzp. And it's phenolic so it doesn't transfer heat like a metal spacer.

                    Re: Throttle Body Spacer

                    yeah it does seem a little expensive. i have a ram air kit, air box lid, jet chip, and muffler so i was looking for some good hp before i replaces the entire exhause with headers and cat back. is this a good next step if i can get one for $45? or should i get something else? it's a 99 camaro
