Throttle Body Spacer

Has anyone put a throttle body spacer on their 95 or so F-150s? And is it worth the 80-100+ bucks to put it on. I mean, does it improve torque and gas mileage like the makers claim? Thanks...

No.
No.
And no.

All T/B spacers do is improve your HP to weight ratio by lightening your wallet.

There are lots of better ways to spend that kind of money, try beer and women for starters. If that doesn't work for you look at a set of underdrive pullies.

The only possible use for them is if you run NO2 and can put the sprayer jets in the spacer.

Otherwise, they're useless. One of the biggest scams of the auto world.
