Has anyone installed a Poweraid Spacer on there 2004-2010 F150 5.4L motor P/N 400-531. Does it do anything?

 

I've heard they make a cool whistle sound, they make a great paperweight as well

 

No power, but they make noise... FAIL

 

Paper weight or door stop is about all they are good for.

 

Paperweight.

 

anyone care to explain WHY they are no good?

 

its been dyno proven over and over that they do nothing for a port fuel injected engine.

 

Bingo

 

I watched Horsepower on Spike a couple of days ago. Even on a carbed engine, TB spacers didn't do anything. They are a waste of money, not matter what type of engine you have.

 

I think the Gatorade spacer replenishes hp...

 

I prefer water.

 

water sucks, it really really sucks!

 

Sometimes you have to watch out about those shows....

I have personally seen carb spacers work on an engine dyno(I used to temp/part timer at a engine/machine shop for while). Each 2" spacer increased hp by around 7. We stacked up to 5 2" spacers and gained nearly 35hp doing this. Somewhere I got some pictures...

And no I'm not b'sing this time.






BTW to the OP...

DO IT! Those things add madddddd horsepower. I had one on my truck before I put the blower on. I took it off for the blower install, and I'll be damned if I didn't notice any difference between the blower and Throttle Body Spacer! Don't waste your money on any other mod, through a TB spacer on a stock truck and go!

 

i just pulled one off my f150 about a mth ago.. i was reading alot of post doggin them, took me 3 mins to get out and put back together... you can hear the difference in the sound at startup/idle as well..

i'm sorry to disagree.. but i felt a difference in throttle response and midrange.... i've owned two trucks, gmc 4.8 (tricked), and this ford 4x4, and that was the first mod i did to both.. ...

 

I'm sure every manufacturer missed this tiny little secret when their engineers came up with their designs. [/sarcasm]
File the TB spacer under the same spot as the tornado.
