87-95 GM P/U 5.0/5.7 TB Spacer

The 87-95 GM P/U 5.0/5.7 TB Spacer from AIRAID INTAKE SYSTEMS is a precision-engineered throttle body spacer designed for C/K-series full-size pickup trucks equipped with 5.0L or 5.7L V8 engines. This single-inch thick aluminum spacer sits between your factory throttle body and intake manifold, creating additional plenum volume that fundamentally improves air distribution and fuel atomization. For pickup enthusiasts and daily-driver mechanics seeking bolt-on performance gains without extensive engine modifications, this component delivers measurable improvements in throttle response and low-to-mid-range torque delivery.

Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in durable black anodized coating, the 87-95 GM P/U 5.0/5.7 TB Spacer works by increasing the distance between the throttle body and intake plenum, which allows cooler intake charge to expand and distribute more evenly across all eight cylinders. The increased plenum volume reduces turbulence and promotes more consistent fuel-air mixing, resulting in smoother acceleration and improved combustion efficiency across the RPM band. Complete gasket and hardware kit is included, ensuring a leak-free seal and straightforward installation without hunting for OEM components.

This spacer is purpose-built for 1988–1995 GM C/K-series full-size trucks with 5.0L or 5.7L small-block V8 engines, making it an ideal upgrade for owners seeking cost-effective performance enhancement without sacrificing reliability or warranty concerns on older platforms. Installation requires only basic hand tools and roughly one hour of work; no porting, manifold modification, or ECU tuning is necessary. Whether you're towing, hauling, or driving daily, the improved throttle response and torque curve translate to real-world benefits—better hill-holding capability, reduced part-throttle hesitation, and noticeable gains in engine responsiveness that make every drive feel more refined.
