Curious, what do you need a spacer for?

How about their Velocity stack? Would that work synergistically with the TBS or is it more of an either/or mod?

I thought the Tornado was a scam too. However the latest edition of Corvette Fever expressed the same sketicism and then tested it on a C2 and allegedly found better accelleration and a 3 mpg increase. The same article said the Tornadoes are all round and are not manufactured for the oval C5 intake. So what did you do Kevin?

I've got one on my Mustang TB. I did it not for the intake volume, but to give the airflow a little more room to straighten out. (the Mustang's intake plenum is a 90 degree elbow) I had installed a less restrictive upper intake on the car (which I smoothed and polished) and I noticed a marked difference. The Mustang is very fertile ground for induction improvements, the stock intake/exhaust is very restrictive. I won't bother with the Corvette, (perhaps, a bigger TB, if I did exhaust as well) unless I was doing a full MONTY, headers, and exhaust, the improvements in the TB would be indiscernable.

Looks like VaraRam makes a Throttle body spacer for the C6. It is part # VR-TBS1 for the LS2 engine. Adds +5 rwhp and +10 ft lbsTorque
