Throttle body spacer

I have a 07 f-150 and I have a edge kit, cold air intake and flowmasters in it. I'm looking into a throttle body spacer for my truck. Has any body had any success with one on it help with power and gas mileage? Thanks

Throttle body spacers are completely useless on a modern fuel injected vehicle, and may even cause problems. They are nothing but a paper weight.

Oh man! The dreaded TB spacer question! LMAO! Almost every single member on this forum will pretty much tell you there a waste of money. If you like a whistle noise thats about all there good for. No HP gains no MPG gains.

#1 no, no one has experienced any increase in power or mileage from one

#2 are you wanting to increase power from your truck?

#3 are you willing to make mods to your truck that are worthwhile?

Ok thanks every one. I haven't ever tryed one in a newer truck so that's why I was asking. I have used a intake spacer on my mustang with it helping with the power so that's why I was wondering what it would do for my truck. Thanks to every one.
