chips & throttle body spacers

[ATM]

Has anyone used or have any advice on performance chips or throttle body spacers?

No one has responded because you give no details as to what you drive?.

Year...engine...etc.

Sorry, Im a little new to this. I have a 2000 SR5, sport edition, manual tran. I guess I wanted to know if performance chips or throttle body ext. work, if they decrease MPG, or have any adverse effects.

Sorry I can't help on this one other than boost this to the top of the posts.

hopefully someone with a 4th Gen will chime in for you.

Come over to www.yotatech.com and do a search. There is ALOT of discussion on this.

Per evidence the Helix/aka throttle body spacers are useless.

There is more info on chips, etc. fooling the ECU etc.

I got a throttle body for my 98. It adds about 15 HP so i feel a lil more pick up and its cheap horsepower

Got one on my 98 too, you can feel the extra power, esp. torque. Its not a miracle performance booster, but i think its worth it.
