TBI spacer modification (literally)
I decided to get the normal 2 hole spacer so I could open it up myself. I didnt like the full open one from summit and the CFM tech one didnt look right
So I figured with access to a mill and air powerd dremel I could make one I like
. I'm happy enough with the results so far. I could have spent a little more time and Made it look better but I got sick of inhaling aluminum dust that I probably shouldnt have (sparkly boogers
). All thats left is to install it.

Dude, that turned out great.
Thanks
The more I look at it the more I want to take all the mill lines the rest of the way out though. I'd also like to angle the inner portion a little more on the sides towards the intake holes( make a smoother side to side transition). I'll bring home a dust mask and fine tune it a little maybe

Nice looking, Now I remember where I saw those rims before when I ordered them from summit. I just spent the past 30 mins going through your build, you came a long way. What's next?
Next I plan on finishing my current upgrades with the fluids, spacer, etc.. Then its on to a spare tire mount and some stereo work.
I've been thinking of doing this since I started looking at spacers back when I got this thing. It will be fine tuned a little yet but its almost ready to put in
Interested in the spare tire mounting, and I finally ordered those speakers for my 99 you suggested...thanks again.
I'm sorta torn on the tire mount
I have 2 ideas that I like but I'll have to wait till I do some cage work on the kids truck before I decide. I think a lot of people will like the final setup but you'll have to wait to see

I bought one of these injector spacers. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CLR-25017/Application/?query=Model|V10+SUBURBAN But it didnt come with gaskets I will be buying the tbi rebuild kit but it only comes with one. Has anyone ever done one of these? What would I call it to try and get another? Or do I have to get 2 whole rebuild kits.

Broke the plastic end off of the TV cable All I gotta do is a little welding and figure out what to do with the tv cable. But I'm off to wisconsin dells for a couple days as soon as my load of steel gets here this morning so the trucks gonna sit

Vacation??
I got it all back together and ready to go, havent driven it yet. I have a few pics of the install process and a bad one of the bracket I cut and lengthend. I also had to cut the cable bracket to make room for the cruise control. I havent done the injector spacer yet. I have to read up on it more and try to get a rebuild manual for the tbi unit.
OK, So... after driving for a day or so and finally taking it up the highway and interstate speeds.... I does have more power. I do have an off idle hesitation (timing) But I accomplished what I wanted. It dosent hunt in and out of converter lockup at speed any more. It just chuggs along with a sweet low pur. I'm happy.
No MPG info yet cause I cant afford to fill a 40 gallon tank But it runs down the road way better.

I put one of those TBI spacers on. Never noticed any MPG improvement though.
some one would,, but nodody follows this thread anymoreSweet man!!! I dont quite understand it lol, but im sure someone will explain lol.
I think it has to do with No 1 tons and 44"s. If you dont understand the hunting thing... It was basically shifting up and down at 55-65 mph constantly. now it dont
some one would,, but nodody follows this thread anymore
I just dont quite understand why the spacer fixed it
