Throttle body spacer
Yes or no?
I was planning on finding a hood piece of pipe at work and cutting it to put in a homemade t-body spacer.

Your use of a pipe has me confused. A throttle body spacer is something that goes between the throttle body and the upper intake manifold. But your mention a pipe, which has me thinking your talking about between the throttle body and the air filter.

I figured pipe the right size could be used instead of shelling out big money for the aluminummilled ones. I have plenty of scrap resources at work. What would you suggest

Nope, not worth it. I'm not running one. The throttle body is going to get hot no mater what you do. I look it as just another gasket that could leak.

Huh. Well thank you very much. I've got my mechanical probs out the way so I'm in the process of performance tweaking.
