benefits come from weighing $50-$100 less than before you had it, course that loss is more than made up in square aluminum with hole in it weight... end gain, none. unles you enjoy the whistle sound some make.

Bottom line?
There really not worth it.
For me it was though. It helped my throttle response not be so harsh after installing a bored throttle body. Other then that i really dont see a difference. It does however make the intake's "sucking" noise at WOT more throaty... which SOUNDS cool, but that doesnt do anything for performance or gas mileage.

I've been measuring better gas mileage and, combined with the exhaust mods I've done, I do think it has a little more power as well as grunt.
Worth the $$? Well, thats your call. I've picked up .5 MPG.

It had nothing to do with the throttle body spacer and everything to do with the mods you combined it with.

Agreed - I also modded the airbox for better flow, this was all within about a month.
Better air intake, which I think the TBS helped with, coupled with better exhaust = more efficiency.

What did you do to the airbox?
How do you think the TBS helped with intake? carburator spacers are there to let the fuel atomize more, which obviously won't happen on fuel injection...

I have a freeflowing exhaust, spacer and intake and the three together made a very noticable difference as opposed to just the exhaust. I picked up almost 1 MPG and responsiveness.

I can pick up .5 MPG if I choose not to pass an 18 wheeler on a 2 lane road...
Throttle body spacers only worked in carbeurated vehicles because it gave the air and fuel more time to mix better, however since fuel injection injects the fuel straight into the cylinder, it doesn't matter.
