I did search this and got nothing, I havent done anything yet to the vibe aand was wondering besides a cai what would be a decent realitively cheap mod??

Um...depends on what you want to do? In terms of cheap and performance? CAI. Anything above that would be exhaust.There aren't a lot of performance parts out yet..

so what does a throttle spacer actually do? sorry if I sound like a complete noob.

Anybody have one of those throttle body spacers? I would like to hear that someone actually felt a difference. I have heard that they make no difference, that they are a gimmick.

BlueCrush seems to be pretty happy with his, from what I can tell. I don't know if anyone's got any real numbers or dyno runs to quantify any gains.

so have u gained any horse power? and do u feel the difference? how much did it cost

how much dose this cost and what kind of MPG increase was there if any?

I believe they use this a lot on older mustang's, Camaro's and other muscle cars. I think I just saw them install one on a mustang on the tv show Horsepower TV on the spike network and the gains where nice but of course it depends on the car.

The throttle bodies are piped with engine coolant. Adding these spacers keeps the heat out of the rest of the intake manifold. It didn't help much, but I already had 260hp/300lbs torque...

All the info is there.

I have read it, and was wondering if "you" have seen an increase in horse power. Its better to hear it from someone who has done than from the manufacturer.

sorry about that I was clicking the wrong link. well thats good to know and hear, I might just have to buy me one of these

No Problem. I'm hoping someone else does, so they can confirm my findings.
