Throttle Body Spacer
can you put a throttle body spacer and a cold air intake on an 01 Z71 with the 5.3L. I have been told that the air intake pipe conflicts with the fan. Or is the throttle body spacer worth it? If it is, what brands can I do this with. The Volant CAI has struck my attention.
Thanks

Re: Throttle Body Spacer
TB spacers make a nice paperweight. Do a search in the forum for it. Don't waste your money. Air intakes designed to fit your truck will fit your truck. Welcome to the forum

Re: Throttle Body Spacer
Well, they work on the old TBI engines, too. But, basically, they only work on engines with a TB or carb sitting on top of the engine, in which case they make it almost like a high rise intake manifold

Re: Throttle Body Spacer
Everyone I know that owns a Silverado around home has one..they swear it works. i personally when riding with them, tell no difference. Even the HEMI my buddy's got didnt gain much if any.

Re: Throttle Body Spacer
TB spacers on a wet intake allow the fuel and air a little more time to mix before getting into the cylinders which gives you more power. on a dry intake youre just making the distance from the throttle blades to the cylinders longer which does nothing for you. give me good dyno numbers that show a tb spacer gives you noticeable power and ill give you the gold brick i just crapped out
 i trust nobody's opinion on more power for the simple fact that if someone wants to feel a power difference with something like this theyre going to feel it. i have people try to tell me that those tornado things work. i just laugh.

Re: Throttle Body Spacer
Hell no they dont. They decrease mileage by at least 1mpg instead of increasing it.
