Default TB and Intake Spacer?

I....just like the rest of you....have found myself once again browsing ebay for some more parts to mod the Stang. I came across some parts that have me intrigued. It was a throttle body spacer and an intake spacer.

Has anyone used these or know anyhitng about them. I do plan on getting an accufab TB/Plenum. Would this be a nice *** to the TB and intake or not?

its just ment to increase intake velocity...nothing too noticable but you can say it to someone who doesnt know anything bout cars you sound smart...i mean the fuel saving tornado does the exact same thing in theory...but you wouldnt be too excited bout putting one of those in would u?

I bought the 1/2" intake spacer and the 1" helix throttlebody spacer. I just did the pi swap and forgot the intake spacer at my house. So just wondering if I should put it on or not now? Also the helix spacer has a smaller diameter opening than my 75mm Accufab throttbody.

Ebay will always be the cheapest place to find parts, or atleast so far for me it has been.

I got the C&L plenum and the accufab trottlebody. Look in the stickes there were dyno results and the C&L came in second to the accufab by 1 horsepower or something. I bought my throttbody used for 190 and the plenum for 155 when it was first put on the market a few years ago.

If you dont feel you can get a good amount of money for the spacer, then i would just put it on...its not like it can hurt the engine at all...if the helix is smaller, u might want to check the tb for clearance, make sure u can get to WOT without touchin anything
