throttle body spacer
does a throttle body spacer do anything for our engine or just a waste of money.I have a friend who wants to sell me one but I heard they don't do nothing for the 5.4 but make a whistling sound.

Actually, they do nothing for any fuel injected engine.

if you put a throttle body spacer on your truck you'd better get a built transmission, cause all that extra HP and TQ is gonna tear it to shreds.
