Installed my TBI spacer last night
I'm impressed. I got the Trans Dapt torque curve ...nice low-mid acceleration (which is what I was looking for), no whistle, etc. etc.
As it's been said before on this site - best mod ...especially for the price.
Install was very easy since I already did the throttle body coolant by-pass ...took about 15 minutes and that includes the time to clean my throttle body.
Thanks for the idea guys.

The web site claims there is an improvement ...but I haven't had it installed long enough to tell. I know Smoke20 mentioned that if he wasn't so heavy footed, he would have seen some gains. ...He installed the smooth bore TBI.

I attempted to install my Trans Dapt TBS earlier today, but I already have the K&N Intake kit on my truck. the intake tube was already rubbing the fan shroud so there was no room for the tbs unless i did major cutting on both the fan shroud and intake tube. I decided it wasnt worth the risk of ruining my other parts so i will be sending my tbs back to JC Whitney.
Since I had the hood up, I decided to change my spark plugs and descreen my MAF sensor. I replaced the AC Delcos with E3 Diamond Fires. I dont know if they are any good but I wanted to try them out. About $7 per plug at Advance Auto Parts w/5 year warranty. By the way, descreening the MAF was super easy- i used only a flathead screwdriver and pryed at the edges and it popped right out. Can you guys tell a difference after descreening? I havent driven much yet so i cant tell

I was confused as to which Trans Dapt TBS to get too. I ended up buying the smooth bore but once I read the actual box it came in i understood the difference. It says this on the side of the box:
"Torque Curve- greatest performance gains from any spacer.
Wide Open-for mid to high end gain, often used for towing.
Smooth Bore-economical, mild performance upgrade, typical torque increases of 10-15% and fuel economy improvements up to 8%. "
So Torque Curve is the way to go and is a few dollars more, although the other two are not bad. All of them claim No Whistle.
