Is the flow booster worth it?

Is this worth it?
http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=22100
"SLP TPI throttle body flow booster cleans up air flow entering TPI engine throttle body. Made from high-grade cast aluminum, and will increase throttle body air flow by 30 cfm. Includes installation hardware and instructions."


And does it indeed go right in with no other modifications to the intake?? Also sorry if this makes me seem like a noob, but what is the difference/purpose of a throttle body spacer over this? Thanks

This is just an air foil. Do a quick search... this has been discussed many times.

I did do a quick search though I didn't come up with anything. Thanks for the response though.

No problem.

Try searching for "air foil".

On a 350 TPI, its better to get a 52mm throttle body with an air foil already built into it, so you dont have to buy it twice.
