Throttle body spacers on these trucks and most fuel injected vehicles do nothing.....so its a waste of money.....

Do you have a programmer? If not, don't get a cai. I would highly recommend the gotts mod. I have a k&n cai and wish I would have saved the money and done the gotts. Gotts has the benefits of cai without causing the truck to run lean. Cai will make the trucks run lean without a programmer to correct. Some may say they run theirs fine without, but just know that it does cause a leaner issue.

The TB spacer makes a nice whistling noise and that is all it does. Spend your money on a programmer. You get far more results for you money than a CAI.

Thanks man! Do you have pics of how you did your gotts mod?? Do you just unplug your Edge when you have to go through inspection?? On the Gryphon website, he says thats all you need to do, just making sure, cause thats a pretty sick HP and MPG gain

Nah buddy, no programmer yet... Been kicking around the idea of the Gryphon, i know he sets it up nice, although the wait I heard can be sorta long, also, I worry about inspection, even though he says to unplug it before you go through and let the truck run a bit with it disconnected, I still worry about passing/ it working again when I hook it back up.
