ive got a 05 gto with a 6.0 ls2, i was looking for some more hp. i was wondering will a throttle body spacer give me some more hp or is it a waste of money?

what else can i do to make it a little faster?

I saw somewhere where they put a spacer in, but I believe it was on a carb intak style with the elbow, and it picked up pretty good gains. And you can do a lot of stuff to make it a little faster, depends on the funds. You could put a CAI on, cat back, headers and full exhaust, intake and throttle body...list goes on man

well i got it from a dealer who told me there is a shift kit and its chipped. i looked under the hood and it has a volant cold air intake, headers and exhaust. i was gonna get a granatelli maf sensor. i had one on my camaro and it really made a diffrence. but i want something else. these are the 2 that i was looking at:

I heard that aftermarket throttle bodies don't even make a real difference. Like an stock truck 85mm MAF is a decent upgrade i believe. I haven't upgraded. A ported MAF is good from what I've heard.

The Vararam ( or any spacer ) simply increases plenum volume and on WOT can help smooth velocity a bit. I run one on mine and you will not lose anything but may only gain 1-5hp. The Devil is in the details though, go for it. They all add up in the end.

Also, get your LS2 tb ported, makes a great difference in response and about 5-7rwhp. You could add a FAST 92 intake or install a ported LS2 intake as well.

Do a search and you will find infinte ways to add power to the LS2. Here is a pic for you to see my spacer installed.

I did install the Summit MAF and it did make a small difference and works perfect even on my tuned A6 trans, FYI. GM Hitech tested the Summit MAF on an LS2 GTO and found about 6rwhp on an A4 if I remember correctly with no side affects. Here it is.
