Throttle Body Spacers

A guy at work says I should fit some throttle body spacers. I have a stock engine with no modifications. Any thoughts on this?

^^^ WTF? Ye bin drankin' ?

I think we have a paying Site Sponsor selling these, So we can't say anything derogatory about these gems.

Hence - OP .. sure! Go fer it - stack several for additive gains. Leave room for a Turdonator though, the icing on the cake

al yalls' best be doin yerself some of that there thinkin! These fancy schmancy injector motors just start that there whistlein with a spacer of sorts! Those elegant pieces of steel are fancy dancy 'n' stuffs, but work a whole messins better on the older carburated motors!

I had one on for 10 mins and hated every second of it . It whistled (loudly) and I had noticeable loss of power. I had it on about the same amount of time it took me to put in on. Easy install and that was the only good thing about it. Poweraid did refund my money that was another good thing. Who knows maybe its ok on another car but not on an F150.

oh the things that I could say that I wont









the only advice I can give you, is ignore the "special feller" you work with, and regarding any "advice" he gives you, please feel free to ignore

Just great for hanging LED's on! I suppose you can drill a hole in it and thread a bottle of nitrus/propane thru it. LOL
