First off go pack it back up and sell it on ebay and forget about it. I had one on my truck for just a little bit and it was so annoying. It whistles and some of the looks from people who were like wtf is that as I went by them at wot. It does nothing but make noise and with a cai it gets even more air and whistles even louder than with the stock setup. Others will chime in and just do a search on it and you will find out on your own.

Take the throttle body space, go to your desk, and throw out your current paper weight. Place the throttle body in place of your old paper weight and enjoy the benefit of not losing your papers due to freak winds.

This is the ONLY good use for TB spacers. They net absolutely no gains, and do nothing more then create a horribly annoying whistle.

Enjoy

Agreed with the above comments. From what I have read here and on other forums, a throttle body spacer is really only good in a carburated setup and in a fuel injected vehicle do nothing more than make noise.
