found this 2-5 minute bolt on for 10hp on jegs.com, check it out

im thinking about ordering this because of the 10 hp for the price. It looks like it'd just bolt up under the air cleaner and thats what it does. But i have a 1990 5.7 TBI aftermarket engine that i have in my 1990 camaro and this says its for gm trucks 87-95 so im pretty sure it should work on mine. What i was wondering though is if u need extra hood clearence because of how big of a bowl this thing is but it says no mods needed... So does anybody out there know anything about this and or have it on their tbi engine???? i've never seen them before on any engine my self and am very interested in ordering it. This is the link to it.....

i think the only thing i like about my throttle body spacer is that it kept the TBI ice cold

i used to be into trucks more and one of the magazines did a buildup and that actaully added 7 or 8 rear wheel horsepower
it goes around the tbi so the little ridges around the throtle bore are level with the bottom of it
