Default LSX Owners Question??

I recently purchased LSX throttle body and intake. Got the throttle body and noticed there was no indention for gasket. Just asking if throttle body is supposed to be like that or not?

The intake has an indentation for where the gasket for the TB is supposed to be.

just like that (internet can be amazing).. you should spend tha extra 50 bucks and get a throttle spacer.. thats suppost to be top dogg (the lsx), and having that spacer will give you the exact performance youll want and need.. make shure you get a cpu upgrade cause the sensors will blow like crazy......

I dont think the spacer will do much unless you have some radical *** type motor.

You might get 2hp...if even that.

Theres some useful links in my sig.
