Helix Throttle Body Spacer

Hey everyone,
I've been looking into the Helix TB spacer and the gains sound impressive. I was wondering if anyone has any first hand info about them? Anyone got one on that I can see? Would installation really be that simple of a DIY?
Thanks!

Expect no Hp gains at all, you will feel a little more torque. (But not much) You only really receive gains on carburated vehicles... It makes a cool sound thought, like a BOV, ask cue2k1, stillmatik, and other members.
As far as installation it took me about 20 minutes with a cold air intake. You just take off the intake, unbolt the throttle body, take off the vacuum lines, place the the helix on the intake manifold and then put everything back... very easy to do. If you want we can meet up and I would be more than happy to show you. [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG] Were are you planning to purchase it?

yeah, i'm looking into getting one. it would be greatly appreciated if i could take a look at it on, where abouts are you? i'm in mississauga.
so far, i've only found it at Performance Improvements.
as for performance, i was hoping to gain a bit more torque from it. but hey, just the BOV sounds worth it right?..... heehee...

i went to the one that RedVic is talking about and they quoted me 219 + tax. so it's around the same as what RedVic paid for his.

RedVic: i'm in waterloo during the week, so we'll have to meet up during the weekends. where abouts are you? is krispy kream far from you?.... we could all meet there... heehee...
