seems like a lot of the c6 guys are using them with the vararams and i was just curious if they are even worthwhile? ive got an extra one just laying here it looks like it would bolt up to a 90/90.

 

hell no

 

they work good under part throttle for MPG but are worthless for horsepower. thats what the airaid rep told me

 

I wouldn't even mess with the veraram personally.

 

TB spacers theoretically work on carb engines, where it allows more airspace for the air/fuel mixture to "mix up". Since the injectors on most FI engines are way behind where a TB spacer goes, they don't do anything.

 

I was gonna say that but was too lazy to type it all out

 

Nope. Waste of money. As said above on carburated engines they have some advantages. I recently read an article testing these spacers (think it was on HP Pontiac?) and some HP increase was detected vehicle with conventional carburator setups.

 

waste of money and if you install it yourself, waste of your time!

 

It's cheap for a reason, I've never seen anyone on this site run the tb spacers. Might as well get a tornado fuel saver if you want to waste cash.

 

it's just sitting it my garage so i didnt buy it but figured its only 4 bolts if its worth 1-2 mpg thats more than worth my time. im not then the heck with it. i figured it wouldnt do much hp wise.

 

Do it. If you already have it, see if it makes a difference on a dyno.

 

I'm sure you are low on numbers due to that Dana 60 rear end. I want one myself as well.

 

yea no kidding.

 

I just farted and it stinks.. Just thought id share!

 

waste

 

do it...why not? if its just sitting there, swapping a TB is cake...you said it would bolt-up to a 90/90...thus can we conclude you got a 90/90?

 

u may conclude that but i still have an ls6 on top of my motor

 

Probably going to make your bellow/maf/lid connection a bit tighter and harder to put together, as well as gain you next-to-no HP.

 

If you want a tb spacer that actually picks up power, get a nitrous plate!
