Throttle Body Spacers

97GT4.6 · July 4th, 2008, 01:02 PM

I noticed on another forum that there was a brandnew throttle body spacer for sale, for only thirty bucks, it says increases horsepower and gas mileage, doesn't seem to me that it would do anything for just being a spacer.

Would there be any benefit to putting this on a stock 4.6? Or is it one of those need to have 350 hp or FI to make it worth while?

Thanks

waste of money even FI

They're okay if they would come with the spring for the throttle body. when it was installed the throttle body spring makes the throttle body stay open making it redline one it turns on. also the fuel rail i think gets in the way. I once say a kit with the plenum and throttle body spacer but i didn't see any difference in power from the stang.

it's only adding a little more space for air... you wont see alot of gain ....

The stock spring works just fine. The problem I had was that the fuel rail makes contact with the cruise control knob on the throttle body. This results in the throttle sticking about halfway open. You can cut off the cruise control knob and it will work fine. I had the lower spacer installed as well though, you may be able to clear the fuel rail with only the throttle body spacer installed.
