BBK Throttle Body and Steeda spacer
 
So i got my BBK throttle body in this weekend and put it on but i took my spacer off. I heard the Spacer really does nothing. Is this true? Also my bro and i thought it my restrict it since the TB spacer hole was smaller that the new BBK TB hole. Do you guys think a spacer does anything?

On another note i am still waiting on my CAI and tuner to get in! Can't wait!

ive also heard that the throttle body spacer doesnt do anything, although a "Intake Manifold spacer" does really do sumthing

The TB spacer does nothing.

cool I hope someone on Ebay will take it off my hands for me!

The TB spacer is "suppose" to decrease turbulence and to mix up the air a little bit more, but to me it seems like it would just settle back down before reaching the actual intake manifold....

Can you feel a difference with the new TB?? That was going to be one of my next buys.

The spacer is a waste of money for sure.

Yeah the New TB is cool sounds a little dif and i can tell some dif but will prob make more of a difference on your GT than my v6. the response is better! Over all i am pleased! Just got word from Justin at VMP and my CAI and tuner got shipped out today!

BBK throttle body will do sumthing but the Spacer wont

in all honesty both the TB and the spacer prolly didnt do almost anything. 1-2hp if i had to guess. I used my stock TB til 385rwhp. i should have switch out earlier. i can't see it doing much for a 4.0L almost stock unless they really designed it poorly.

The CAI and tuner will make quite a decent gain.
