tb spacer is useless, total waste of money. dont know about throttle bodies, they may do something.

I had the GMS 62mm billett Throttle body and it was a POS
Both the spacers and throttle body are a completewaste on money

Save your $$$ for some reliable mods.

The only TB that I would even recommend is the GT500 setup from JDM. Since its still a FORD TB it will not have the problems the aftermarket ones did. As for gains. You might notice a little bit more response and some extra MPG. But dont expect much.

+1 on the JDM setup, but on a N/A engine you will gain very little if anything at all. As for all the others, don't even go there. I did and it was a total waste of$$ and nothing but headaches.[:@]

ditto.

TB's don't give you anything unless your pushing 12+ psi boost, even then the benefits are marginal at best. Save your $$.
