In regards to everyones posts on throttle body spacers, I will add on to it. I understand that the spacers for the v6 are only $109, but I talked to a mechanic at school and he said they are a pain to put on. He said it would be about $250 installed. Has anyone installed them before? Are they hard? I am somewhat mechanically inclined. Thanks guys

What's a Throttle Body Spacer?

Why would I want one?

 

you should go slap that mechanic that told you that! It took me about 45 minutes to do this mod. all you need is some very simple tools. That guy is trying to take your money for charging that much for a install!

 

hey fordsport
Maybe I said it the wrong way. He is a buddy of mine and he used to be a mechanic, and he told me that's what they used to charge parts/labor. He didn't know for sure since he hadn't worked on a f-150 before. Sorry. HEy but thanks for the information. Just out of curiosity fordsport, did ya get the poweraid, or a different spacer?

 

OK, sorry to blow a gasket on your friend. He must not have put one on a f-150 because it is very easy. It only takes 4 sinple bolts and some linkage extenders. Yes I have the poweraid. I think it works great! I also have a couple of other mods that compliment off eachother.

 

Were my questions too hard?

 

sorry y2k.
Mentioned in an earlier post, a spacer incorporates a helix bore that spins the incoming air charge. The increased combustion efficiency provides tremendous torque and mileage increases.
