Don't even bother with it, throttle body spacers have been proven to lose horsepower if do anything at all. Do a search on the term "throttle body spacer" and you will get all the information you seed.

Ive looked at some of the reviews. Though it could just be ignorance but everything ive read insist that theyve gained hp.

You read the wrong reviews then.

If you have a lot of paperwork and work in a breeze, that sucker will keep it all from blowing away, and that's about all it's good for.

Well there ya go. There is an actual lower intake spacer that supposedly helps a little bit, but i haven't seen enough conclusive evidence to say wether it's worth all the work and the money.

anything that lenghtens the runners will add torque. but we are talking about 1ftlbs with a TB spacer and 10 max with the manifold spacer.

TB spacers are worthless. if you got it for free lucky you. if you paid for it lucky somebody else.


funny how powerdyne markets their own tb spacer. that's why i would never back powerdyne. money is their main goal not providing a sound product to make profits from
