Do a cowl intake and look into a bored TB. Theres a guy on here they sells them for a good price. I was sold on a spacer until I looked into them. Most people say they are a complete waste.

Don't think it hurts it but it'd just be annoying and yeah. Especially if they gave you a bored out throttle body.

Last time I looked into them ABOUT the only REAL advantage to having the spacer is fuel mileage no REAL performance gains. Had one on a 94 Silverado and 98 Silverado and they just gave me fuel mileage gains of about 6%

Your going from a 4.5in pack to a 3in pack plus a shackle giving you 1.5in? Hmmmmm. 4.5-1.5=3. 3+1.5=4.5. Il going to have to think this through but it should work.
