TB spacers do nothing, send it back.

Reach out to Supermodulation (James) again, your email may have went to spam.

I highly recommend Lyndon at Wester's Garage Custom Performance Tuning he programmed my trailblazer ss and it was quite a difference. Check out his site.

just remember the T Body does not add HP, just smooths out the acceleration curve. I did back to back tests with several T Bodys and only found 1 hp difference, only the power curve changed ever so slightly. This was on a 2015 Corvette and VMAx and Bo White T Bodys were tested.

You need to get an aftermarket replacement for the OEM/stock filter that goes inside the stock air filter box.

For your 2007 that would be a K&N #E-0773 (washable oiled gauze element) or the AFE Pro Dry-S #1110096 (washable synthetic no oil). If you want some other brand, go to their site and plug in your year and model for the replacement filter #.

The exposed cone filter is not what you are looking for.

While I agree with that almost entirely, comparing tests from a Vette to an I5 H3 is like comparing tests from a C7500 Dump Truck.

The idea is not that the PP TB itself produces loads of power, rather its improved flow efficiency in combination with other mods and a tune that takes advantage of that package can make a significant improvement. Kind of like changing the OEM paper filter to an aftermarket hi flow filter with no other mod, does almost nothing, very hard to measure. I have 2008 dyno data with a brand new clean K&N actually went backwards 1HP.

However, when you swap the filter, intake, and PP the TB, the I5s respond surprisingly well to intake side improvements.

Yes I did order that intake but there is also a little filter next to it its very small! The knn will replace that filter then what the small one for ?
