I got out of the truck customizing and changed over to Mustangs and just started learning about a lot for them. A friend of mine told me about thottle body spacers and they are inexpensive to add easy HP to your car. I noticed MT has intake spacers and was wondering if there was a big difference. I found a combo on ebay with a throttle body and intake spacer. A little new on this guys so what would be the best way? Not wanting to dump a lot of money into the car right now. I just got deep dish bullits, it has an H pipe, and I just put a drop in K&N in it this weekend. Should I get the intake spacer from MT and if I do what should I expect out of it? Thanks.

 

personally i wouldnt do it...i will suggest getting the throttle body and plenum combo...I remember about 2 years ago that throttle body spacers(like helix powertower for trucks and what not) were dynoed to see if they gained power...they actually led to a loss of power(like 6-8hp, i cant remember how much torque was lost)...i know that we dont need spacers because they dont do anything but make noise and our heads have a piece in them that helps mix the air and gas

 

T/B spacers and intake spacers are worthless! Don't waste your money dude!

they aren't very effective on any multiport fuel injection system, carburetors, however are a different story

 

a throttle body/plenum combo already has the added intake space so its like a built in spacer.
Oh on another note, :sith: th post

 

You must of been planing that post for a while :laughing4

 

I actually just glanced at my name and seen 999.

 

LOL, he has nothing else to do, why not. Anyways, tb spacers are useless, except for making annoying sounds...save the money and buy a new shifter.

 

i had the intake spacer before my plenum/tb combo, the spacer did make it higher (even more higher than the tb/plenum combo) but i felt little or no gains out of it. the tb/plenum combo i definately noticed something
