Default Throttle Body Spacer

I am looking to purchase the Steeda 4.6L Intake Throttle Body Spacer, I am wondering if this will be a waste of money to purchase this or a part that will help the car out. Thanks for your input.

General consensus is that its a waste of money.

yeah, i mean i had one on my car and it dynod, but i had no baseline numbers... if anygains are found its in the .x range... which i mean i guess that could help you if you just want dyno numbers, like 300 vs 299.8..but as for performance... its basically negated...

but if you want mine for either the possible number or just the cosmetic effect (its shiny and says steeda lol) ill sell you mine..

and actually before i got my gt500tb it came in handy, as i didnt have the right bolts to bolt my old tb to the intake manifold.. the spacer aloud me to use longer ones to get it set... but thats just one of those off the wall scenarios...

but at any rate, i have pics and ill give it to you $25 shipped...

The spacer is about as useful as perfume on a pig. Don't waste your money.

The HP gained by a TB spacer is negated by the actual
added weight of said TB spacer. Save some time and
just mail me the money instead.

Don't mail the $$ to 157db! The postage stamp that you'd use will provide as much RWHP gain as the TB will...
