Found T.B. spacer

[chepdog]

I found a Throttle Body spacer on Ebay (for the Titan), its from Airaid ($103.00 plus uncle sam and taxes) thay claim 5-8 hp and about 13 lbs trq. what do you guys think? i had one of these on my Expedition until i had to go with a bigger t.b. i noticed more noise, but no butt dyno notice. Any input.

IMHO, Save your money and buy a friend a nice dinner. Both the dinner and the spacer will eventually be the same thing. You figure it out.

You might consider buying it if it promises an 8 to 10 mpg gas mileage increase too.

JetTech has one on the way to him from AirRaid to do a test/review on. He will not give anything but the most accurate results, rest assured. Hold off, and wait untill he does the test before spending any money. The article will be here:

There are other threads here on this subject. The thing cannot work when you consider the science. We have electronic port fuel injection. Spacers had a use under the base of a carburetor or a throttle body injection system that sat on top of a traditional intake manifold. Raising the carb or throttle body AFTER THE FUEL WAS ALREADY MIXED, could increase torque. It does nothing when its just holding air. Can't cool the air charge either. Just how many micro, nanoseconds do you think it takes for the air charge to go that extra 1/2 inch or so? Won't work. Period. Please save your money.

Agree.....100%. That is, of course, unless you add a Tornado with the TB spacer.....lol!!

And when you try to pass it off on the next sucker, what you get for it won't buy you a cup of Starbucks coffee, either.

definitly not worth it...

It's good old fashioned snake oil.
