what engine do you have? a TB spacer fits in between a stock throttle body and stick intake manifold. post a picture of what you're talking about

Is this a dumb question or did I miss something? I know there's a lot of TB threads but did not find any regarding this specific question

Quick pics. So does that bracket have to move back? I do see a mounting hold on the manifold that is empty. I need to see what a stock setup looks like

you see the "bracket" extenders?? the tabs underneath it???


also someone cut that POS hot air intake, so you might want to do the gotts intake mod since your truck gets a lot of water/dirt in the engine bay

Yeah I figured that those were some
Sort of ghetto extenders. And I'll look up the gotts mod. I keep hearing about it but figured it was a stock intake mod

it is a stock intake mod...but it makes the stock intake much more efficient, and the big dogs around here will tell you its much better than an after-market intake, because it still takes cooler air from the fender and not from the hot engine bay.
