Default AirAid Throttle Body Spacer

Anyone know anything about this or have one. If so what kind of gains. I'm not expecting more than 5hp if that. And for those that didn't know they make one of these for the tC obviously. lol thanks
oh yeah do u think it would be worth tuning after this and a CAI, if so what to get?
I know about the greddy emanage but would the AEM Fuel and Ignition controller work?

don't waste your time, i think soros dyno'ed his tc with a throttle body spacer and it showed a loss in power.

tuning a n/a tc really isn't very fruitful and the best results only come when you have a full set up of cold air intake, header, s-pipe mid-pipe and axel back exhaust done. (your trd axel back muffer doesn't do anything other than sound cooler.)

the AEM F/IC is superior to the greddy emanage blue and the ultimate as well.

but you have to buy the unit, and the PnP harness unless you want to straightwire it to the car, and then you have to pay to have it dyno'ed all for a gain of about 12 whp at best.

yea you can put a peice of metal in your intake tube so when it feels like it, it can dislodge and enter your engine....
