Default TB Spacer on 75mm Accufab TB & Plenum

I've got an 02 Mustang GT w/ 75mm Accufab TB & Plenum, and K&N CA intake, but I'm wondering if adding a TB spacer would give me any gains. Also, does anybody know if those damn Tornado thing-a-majigs that you stick in the intake tube do anything? Thanks

interesting... cept, i don't have any room for a plenum spacer... the accufab already rubs a bit on the hood...

then just do the TB spacer it allows more air to flow into the engine than without one. they work and they work really well on mustang gts

Hey... I'm just asking... from what I've read on throttle boddy spacers.. they put the same type of spinning effect that the tornado does... so i'm just wondering would the tornado help at all, i'm not thinking of it in place of a spacer, but in addition to one. Thanks

STAY AWAY FROM THE TORNADO!! those things are junk. think about it...
you are putting something inside the intake tube AFTER the filter, so what if a piece breaks off and gets sucked up? you're F***ED. and the whole thing that the tornado does is "spin" the air. by the time that air goes up the intake, through the tb and plenum and into the manifold, there's no more spin and a waste of 80 bucks.

I love how people say so much bad sh** about turbonator and they really dont know anything about it... A guy on here did a dyno run without it and with it he picked up 3hp.
