can anyone give me a link where i could buy a throttle body spacer? i've read the forums and seen recommendations to get the varam off ebay, but i've looked and i can't find it. i've searched the internet and can't find any that fit an 05 goat. the only one i found on ebay is this one. it seems a little pricey and cheesey. i mean, 22 horsepower gain from a throttle body spacer? i seriously doubt it. anyway, any suggestions?

You can call Vararam at 713-899-6456. Web site: vararam Ind.com
Just type in vararam and you will get there. Easy install...
i dont know if its coincidance but after a few months with it my intake tube to the throttle body split at the hard section and the flex part. it might have been cheap gm parts . the spacer does push everything forward about 1 inch and it might have put presuron it. sory bad speller. do we have spell check?
You can get a throttle body spacer from VARARAM or from AIRAID, don't expect much of a HP gain if any. You MIGHT get 3 - 5 HP from one. If you want one , go with the VARARAM, it act's like a HIGH RISE Manifold on carbed cars by adding air volume . The Airade was designed to do the same thing but it causes a swirl effect that Airaid claims with help atomize the air / fuel mixture which cause's a better burn in the combustion chambers. Their claim is kind of miss leading. Their spacer actually slows down the flow of air coming into the engine. For 50.00 and a 3-5 HP gain. Go with the Vararam if you use a throttle body spacer. 10 minute install time.

The stock intake tubes are cheap hard plastic and will crack if you put a spacer in between the throttle body, Same goes with some of the COLD AIR Intakes. They are built and shaped as a exact replacement for the stock system and when you add a spacer it puts extra stress on the plastic parts which can crack. The Spacers should be used with a COLD AIR Intake system and NOT the Stock system. With the after market set ups you have more room for adjustments.I use a AEM BRUTE FORCE Cold Air Intake. The elbow where the tube connects to the throttle body is made out of a firm pre shaped rubber material which is slightly flexable making for a much less chance to crack.

You will NEVER see 22 HP gain from a spacer. with some luck you might get 5

Intersting thread, I have been running a VARARAM Spacer for about 5,000 miles, with a Lingenfelter CAI. As you may know, the Lingenfelter uses the stock intake. I did have to cut out a little of the platic radiator cover. No problems, no cracks, just GTO power and fun.
