I was thinking about purchasing a throttle body spacer from Vararam and was just wondering what everybody thought about it(horsepower results)?

The general view of the Velocity Stack by those who've tested one is that it provides no measurable improvement to acceleration. I bought one, drove with it for 100 street miles and sold it. Suggest you save your money.

I would figure the spacer is about as effective as throwing a deck chair off the Titanic to keep it from sinking ... useless, in other words.
