Default RE: throttle body spacer

Nobody mentioned about TBS and Cold air intake kits, or how its real difficult to have both, w/o cutting the shroud for your fan, and then it may not be conceivable, or am i being ill advised again? I was told with my K&N FIPK, where i already had to trim the fan shroud so the tube would fit, that i would not be able to install the TBS, unless i went with electric fans or something like that. Fill me in if i am wrong. Thanx, Jim

You are right that there is some interference unless you have electric fans, but youcan always trim the tube a little and make it work. You are only talking about 1/2 in or so.

According to a guy on Diablosport forum who races a few modified C6 Corvettes, the TB spacer has more impact on moving the powerband then it does increasing hp and torque. It will provide some gains but it mostly moves the powerband and torque curve to a differnt (often lower) rpm range, and in some cases increase the duration of the powerband. Different styles provide different results on this. He does note that without other significant mods and programming that the gains are minimal.

Chevyrules, i have a volant cai and when i put on my tbs i had to cut about and inch off my fan shroud because i dont have electric fans, then i had to make sure my cai tube was all the way onto the tbs so that it wouldnt hit my fan, it ended up all working but i have about 1/2 in. of space from my fan to my tube

I guess I was lucky when I bought my truck it already had K/N CAI and a spacer not sure what kind of spacer. I wonder if my MAF is stock.
