Quit looking for a throttle body spacer. THEY ARE USELESS. 99.9% of the guys in this forum agree. As for an Air Intake. I have the Volant, and do not like it. Creates a drone in my cab. Do a search for air intake. Just to the right of "New Posts". Read, read, and keep reading. Meet back here tomorrow at 9 for a quiz.

they would only do good on a carbureted engine, to help mix the air/fuel

TB spacer are totally useless.. forget the whistle u get with using one.. its not worth it.. as everyone will say they are only good to use as a paper weight... yes, for ur desk that is.. my buddy had one on his frontier and it was usless... just whistled and gets really aggrivating after a while.. as for intake.. my two choices in order are AF1 rom troyer or K&N... please do us a favor and ull thank us.. dont get a TB spacer.. save the money for either a full exhaust system or TB.. something worth spending money on.. enjoy

Now guys that is not true. TB spacers do have a use. They make great paper weights. They also tend to cause a vacuum leak, when you buy it, it will suck the money right out of your wallet.

Buy gas and an S&B intake.

I'm the .1% of everyone that isn't comp. against them. I had one and have installed a few, each truck they were installed on picked up and held .10 in the 1/8 mile, nothing huge, but I HAVE SEEN A GAIN. It's not what they claim, or work like they claim, but fuel injected or not, an increase in plenum volume helps. The 1" adds a little air to the total volume, but nothing huge, If you looking for it to work miracles and expect it to perform like they say, skip it, but I have seen them help a *little*.
