throttle body spacers?

[alphabets13]

are they a good investment? and what brands do some of you have? i've seen the helix tower i think it is. also do they improve gas mileage? power? thanks

IMO, they do nothing to a MPFI. Others may disagree tho.............

There's a bunch of mixed results on this... I have thought about getting one, but never have due to mixed opinions. Alec will tell you that they are worthless, Aldive will say he picked up a consistent 1/2 MPG from his. I honestly don't know who to believe, I know other guys have tried them too... My dad put one on his '98 Mounty, but he also put on a Mac intake and a Gibson exhaust at the same time, so he can't tell the impact the TB Spacer had.

ya, thats why i started this thread, i've heard mixed results. they are not that expensive, but could be more $ spent on a better exhaust or something like that.

I wouldn't waste your money on the spacer, put it towards a better muffler instead.

Do a search. There are tons of threads on this subject. I was actually considering it till I searched this forum and decided against it.

TB spacers are not worth the cost. IMO.
