Default Throttle Body

So I decided to get a BBK Throttle Body and a TB Spacer sometime this week.

Does it matter what spacer I get for it?, anyone have any suggestions for one?

Also how does the car feel differently with the TB,Is there noticeable gains like I have seen with my C&L CAI? (noise wise,performance,etc)

Thanks!

At this stage with your mods, you most likely won't feel nor gain much from it. The spacer is a waste in my opinion.

You don't need a spacer to install the TB, it just makes a stupid whistle noise anyway. No power gains from either one unless u have a supercharger. Traded my spacer for a belt buckle.

Default oh

my bad haha,you don't need one to install it. Ya,if its not much power gain I would rather spend my money on something that will, what do you guys think I should get next? Im also trying to get supporting mods for when I turbo my car,so something that will go with the turbo.

The only thing I have right now that won't go with the Turbo is my CAI, but I love it =)

I would go with gears, either 3.73's or 4.10's. Also I would recommend going with straight thru mufflers if you do in fact get the turbo.

Spacer is a good paper wieght as a wiseman here once said. Throttlebody ,,you probably wont notice much difference.
Even a good muffler for your 6 will give you a noticeable gainn,,yep just one
