Throttle Body Spacer on LLT
Recently saw the Jet performance has come out with a TB Spacer and after some searching it seems like Airaid already has one on the market. Anyone with experience with any of these installed? I had one on my toyota truck and it did improve mid range power and MPG.

Peoples said that airaid was just a waste of money. The jet's spacer has a spiral groove similar to vmax tb and we all know how well the design worked. I guess someone will have to get one and try. I think it only cost about 95 from jet.

Jet tb definitely worked on a mustang gt with a gain about 11lb of foot torque. The spiral grooves has me somewhat optimistic. |

The jet is only available on their web site right now. Not sure if they are actually shipping.

The Airaid spacer is grooved also, and produced zero gains on a L99.

I seen there was a link to that somewhere... I need to read up... because I have certainly never heard of any TB spacer producing any kind of positive result...

I know on the Nissan forums I was reading about the Airaid TB and the same results were that it was a waste of money and zero gains.

WOW... that was a long time ago... on a 2005 Mustang GT... so the 4.6 V8... they talked about a .8 RWHP gain... REALLY??? LOL! I got the feeling the guys testing was a bit flawed.... Everyone else that has ever tested a spacer that I know has never seen any gains what so ever... Personally I would say no gains...
