take the tb spacer back off... i dont think u'll see ne gaines from it neways, its not like the old skool ones that went under the carburators, your engine measures the air goin in thru the MAF, so putting a spacer after it wont change ne hting...

It is not needed at all. I would get your money back on a return. I have never been one to like messing with the throttle linkage on my LS1's.

The intake manifold doesn't heat up enough to need a TB spacer. They are good for a 3.8L supercharged motor to seperate the TB from the hot supercharger.

...I just bought one, but only because it's tapped for my wet shot. Much cleaner than having a nozzle stuck into your bellow.

Well, if it is plumbed for the Nitrous, maybe it was a not so worthless mod?

Yea, might make since. LS1's are notorious for puddling spray in the back of the intake. That might help a little.

Hmmm, I got my N2O tapped TB plate today. nothing but the plate, a gasket, and some screws. After looking at the TB I can see theres no way this will work without being able to remount the throttle cable somewhere. Does anyone know where i can get a beacket that will move the throttle cable foreward? The spacer is 3/4 inch thick. Please Help
