Default Throttle body spacers

Hi all, just a quick question do throttle body spacers really work? If they do
which one works the best? I have never tried one on my C6's or my C7.

TIA

If you compete in NCCC Autocrosses or club with their rules, the spacer will take one out of the stock class.

Man the one I got didn't come with new bolts and you really have to take your time screwing the stock ones back in. They don't get but a few turns & can cross threw it. I went and got new bolts that was the thickness of the spacer.

You will see what I am talking about if you get one..Robert

Thanks Robert, probably the 8 hp gain as advertised isn't worth the hassle.

On a N/A car but I put a blower on the car & have a ported T.B. on the car also and from the way the spacer is made am hoping it will do the job even better on moving the AIR around into the mouth of the intake. Robert
