I was wanting to pick your brains in which of the listed throttle body spacers may be better choice for my 2008 Silverado im going to install the K&N 57 series cold air intake and a spacer at the same time. OR if a spacer is a waste of money tell me that and why please.
+1 to all three posts above. It's just marketing and placebo. It sounds like a great idea, and it might make the engine sound a little different, but it is no in any way giving you what you think or want.
Don't mean to hi-jack but what about my 95 TBI 5.7? I have an open (old school) K&N and I was thinking about a throttle body spacer, an injector pod spacer, along with getting rid of the choke collar. I would be into it about $100. Would that be worth while? I am quite aware that this motor won't be a real performer without more serious work, just in case someone feels the need to tell me that. Thanks in advance.
Yeah the truck is pretty complete. If the motor ever does go I plan on getting a 4 bolt main tbi with a roller cam and better heads so I figure it would be beneficial to have the intake opened up in advance.

TB spacers are great on carbureted vehicles or vehicles where air/fuel mixture was needed before reached the cylinder. TB Spacers on F/I vehicles ... save your money. In addition to adding a TB spacer, some intake systems are hard to install due to the additional space. Intake system companies that do not sell TB spacers do not design the install to work with adding 1 to 2 inches.
