I was on one of my daily boredom-induced internet searches for mustang bolt-ons and i keep running into intake spacers.

Here's the description of one of them:
"PowerAid accomplishes this by spacing the throttle body one inch and adding a dyno-proven Helix style bore(s). As the intake air passes through the spacer, the Helix bore creates a vortex action that improves atomization creating a more complete combustion and an efficiently burning engine. The results are improved drivability and increased fuel efficiency."

Is this just a gimmick device or does it actually do anything? I cant see that it would yield any noticeable results but then again, I'm a moron so... I dunno. What do you guys think/know about these?

 

What your talking about is a Throttle Body Spacer. They do nothing.
An Intake Spacer, is this... and they do add hp/tq.

Yeah the throttle body spacers didnt look like they did much. The spacers on that website look a little above my level in terms of installation. Thanks for the info

 

yep, no problem.
