Does a Throttle Body Spacer Really Work???

[DKS]

That whole circumcision story is a bunch of BS. I never told Abraham any such thing.

So, you never said "out on Highway 61", either????


I'm telling everybody that I found God on a Mustang Forum.

Let's just say Mr. Dylan was under influences other than mine.

Better leave off the TBS, that's just pushing it too far. You do have to be able to stop at the end of the track you know

I was told to use a trans brake so that should help me stop right?

I installed my OBX 2'' Spacer with the belief that I would gain a tuned 15hp with 25 lbs of tq.... well after a tunned dyno it actually only made a 4hp increase with 4 lbs of tq. Only paid 15 bucks for it on ebay so not much of a loss. Looks cool though, lol!

haha my tuner took mine off when they put it on the dyno. they just left it in my passenger seat. but if you got 4hp/tq thats acually worth it! what $3.75/hp?

i pulled mine off when i just stopped lying to myself that it ever actually did anything in the first place.

Naaaaa.....should just go with the "TORNADO"......

lol when you buy something useless your brain tricks you into thinking you felt the increase in HP, it's a defense mechanism to keep us from kicking ourselves in the ass.

I guess depending on how you look at it you could see it as worth it. The only way your going to see a hp gain is with it dyno tuned and even then you still wont get the glorious hp they advertise. That whistler exhaust ricer thingy seem cool but my car already whistles with the paxton. The spacer doesn't hurt performance and is barely even noticeable so I just left it in. But if I could go back I would of spent the 15 dollars on a case of Bud Light.

I have the steeda spacer didn't notice any gain I understand it just increases plenum volume

Now that I have N2O installed I am hoping the "swirls" in spacer help mix gas and nos a little more

Again, the spacer never hurt any performance and I am spraying a 125 shot with no issues so perhaps the spiraling air is mixing the nitrous and fuel. But like I said, I had to get it dyno tuned to even see a 4hp and 4 lbs tq increase. I could of got that from a oil change!

yeah i have no comment on that one.

I have one as well, it was free when I got my tb so I put it on. About all I can say for sure is it does increase plenum volume. I have no issues with it on my frpp manifold and turbo setup. Does it add hp/tq maybe a couple, would I buy one, no.

I was being sarcastic about changing your oil and gaining that hp. I'm saying that you will never notice any hp or tq increase, it wont make any cool sounds. If you get it for free then why not but I wouldn't buy it again.

 

[slowstang06]

at the end of the day, if it looks cool keep it in! it wont get you as much horsepower as a NOS Sticker on your window though (ancient Ricer secret)

You mean the "Amazing, gas saving tornado!" They got 15 rwhp on the dyno on their commercial! LMFAO

this is what happens when Nelson Muntz sees the TB spacer.

You should also do dyno pulls with the engine dead cold. It makes more power. Seriously.
