BBK 70mm Throttle Body Whistle

Spacer does nothing for performance dont wast your money and the BBK is junk plus you have to switch all the elecric over from your throttle. if you really want a throttle body go with zabteck.
I had good luck with a coil and wires from Granatelli Motorsports check out the thred below. picked up some mpgs and shaved a .10 off 0 to 60 mph time.

IMO the whistle you hear is the air getting sucked in by the cold air intake. the came and exhaust on my car drown out the intake noise as long as i'm over 1800 rpms lol. The only mod I would put on a V6 would be a procharger, I would not drop a penny into the motor until it had a blower on there, just my $0.02
But at the end of the day its still just a v6 with 232 cubes. Make you car look nice and sound good and stop at that point. Coming from an ex-v6 owner, I had a 1996 v6 from 2004-2007, just make is look good and sound good and stop at that, save your money for a GT, or a blower for the v6. Any money invested past that point is a waste compared to the minimal gains you will get.
he has a s197 so he has 245 cubes and has 210hp stock most of the gts from the 80 and early 90s only put out 225 or less stock if your gonna bash on v6s stay over in the 5.0s And right now the camaro v6 is knocking on the door of the gt. Yes a blower or a turbo is probably the most hp gains per dollar but then you have to upgrade everything else the t-5 the 7.5 rear.
As for the original question about the throttle spacer i thought you were going to buy it. If you already have it it's an expensive paper weight.

I haven't purchased it yet, I just meant is it possible to make one worthwhile. I've read that their pretty useless, but my buddy keeps telling me if I get the throttle body I should get the spacer along with it. Theoretically it sounds like it should work by increasing the air volume inside the intake plenum. I just wonder if the people getting them are tuning their car or installing it without a tune
My V6 is pretty impressive. I put a Wms racing ram air system with Mac headers,BBk throttle body Live Wire coil and wires Duel exhaust and a Sct tune. Stock gears and I turned a 9.4 2x in a row in the 8th mi. That is pretty good since stock turned 10.8 consistantly. I like seeing what i can get out of a motor without a supercharger.
