throttle body spacer ?

[Blue_Slug]

Hey guys and gals. Would I feel a difference if I add a tbs while I have a cai and a tune ?

I would probably think not. Spacers are meant to help fight/dispurse hear not add power.

Am says 8hp gain ?

I just did some quick research on google and apparently it doesn't really do anything.

it might add a little throttle response ...

Ive just read like 20000 reviews and most ppl 85% say they feel a lil more giddy up so I guess ill see for myself

I have to see that! 8 hp is a good pick up for a spacer! Maybe if you throw the tornado ($49) in there too you can get another 8? As seen on tv. LOL
Let me know if you feel the gain from the spacer. - Gene

Will do ... I got one from eBay for $35 cones with all the stuff needed and it looked good. I will know soon and post up a response after the install

I've tested two of them with two very different designs (one has a cross blade with angle blades and the other had the more typical swirl pattern machined around the outside diameter.

Both of them were tested on a 2005 V6 mustang.

Both of them lost 2 horsepower compared to the stock throttle without a spacer.

I've seen similar power losses with spacers on V-8 mustangs customers brought in to our shop. Save your money.

Oh Damn I have already purchased it (swirl) it should be here in a couple days. I read a bunch of reviews on am saying they feel a gain but ill test it out myself. If there is a gain ill keep it if not ill remove it and that will be that. BTW Thanks for the input !

A saw a few of them on eBay too. Did you get the 1/2" spacer or the 1" spacer? Let us know how it feels after u install it.

1 inch. I got it from eBay for 40 with shipping.

Yer better off giving car a good WAX JOB, too cut down on wind resistance...:nono:

its all in their heads- there is no gain, unless they took a big dump before.

Lmaoo ... Well I might as well try since I paid for it already.

So I just went for a ride after installing the tbs and if any gains at all prob 2 but I do feela slightly better throttle response.

Good to hear. I guess you can call it hit or miss. Hit here! I wish you had a way to log data to see if it actually did something or not. I guess you have to experiment to see if certain products really have the "upgrade" factor or not. Good to see your happy!

We saw some small but real gains from the spacer that goes under the throttle elbow on a 99-04 GT. So I'm not sayiing no spacer will ever work, just that the ones we tested on the 05+ v6 & v8 mustangs didn't work.

Like was said, sometimes you have to experiment a little to see what works and what doesn't
