Those are a waste of money and probably wouldn't even have hood clearance for one anyway.

I used to work at a Pontiac dealership and we had a used colorado on our lot that had throttle body spacers and it felt a good bit faster than a stock colorado.

lot of them claim to have 10-15 hp depending on type of car. I don't think one will fit on our cars due to hood clearance

I think I saw a post by someone

I think I saw a post by someone somewhere about using a TB spacer. They add plenum volume to the intake. They will help on fuel injected vehicles from a little to quite a bit just depending on the application.

theres one made by airraid for an ecotec cavalier/sunfire. it fits just fine and its perfect for n2o.
the only thing is that you will need some new bolts to put it on, the ones in the box will be a little too long.

It's basically garbage on our motors. Don't waste your money.

Spacers only serve a function on Big Block N/A Sarburated Cars.

Don't waste your money.

If your not running n2o, it's pointless since the Cobalt is a multipoint fuel injection. Now if it was throttle body injection or carburated, it would give the fuel more time to atomize and disperse equally into the intake air.

I believe they use it so they can drill into and mount nozzle (or whatever it's called).

You still don't need it, The air velocity at WOT is so quick that there is no risk that the Air Fuel will not get a nice even mix.
