what does the throttle body do? Probably a dumb question, but I don't know much about mods...

I installed a Ready Lift Kit. Didn't want to adjust the torsion bar.

The throttle body spacer changes the air flow into the throttle body. Basically causing a vortex so the air/fuel mixture is optimized for maximum performace and fuel economy. I noticed a huge difference in performance, still waiting for results on MPG.

The throttle body spacer seems like an easy mod. I wonder why GMhas neverincorporated it into the design if it's a natural improvement?

It took me 20 minutes. The hardest part of the installation was trying to stop the step stool from slipping out from my feet while I was leaning over the engine compartment. And after I installed the TB spacer I installed the Airaid cold induction air cleaner kit. So it's kind of hard to tell which one added the performance, but adding both sure made a difference. I found a guy on ebay that sells them here locally and he got me a good deal. I paid around $270 for both and saved tax and shipping.

And like I said the next thing will be exhaust, but I have do some research on this. I did listen to one that had a B&B Exhaust and it sounded real nice without the cab resonation in it.

Get a Magnaflow. You can hear the tone at their website.
