Throttle body spacer

Is the Air Raid throttle body spacer really worth it on a 2008 toyota tacoma 4.0??

 

On these engines they don't do much of anything. Save your money!

 

its a good paperweight,and it whistles....thats about it.

 

is there a way to just change the TW banner on the homepage to a giant "SEARCH" button??

 

do either of you guys have a throttle body already?

 

Don't waste your money on it unless you need it to prop your door open on a hot summer day.

 

Awesome a new topic!

 

i thought it added a bit of HP and helped mpg maybe a little. but mostly i thought it made the gas a little touchier when i put my foot in it haha. thinkin i should have order the MAF sensor calibrator instead

 

Just send it back. I'm just wondering, why do people thing adding a half inch or so of metal help fuel economy or throttle response? LOL....

 

send it back and do this

 

LOL yeah, there's a lot of hype and and misconception...

 

Now i don't know about the Air Raid but my buddy Dyno'd a 02 4runner with a Helix tower power with a stock air box and gained a little over 8hp at 4400rpm.

That might be the reason people don't think they do anything 8hp ain't much.
i personally have a Helix on my 02 3.4 and i like it.

But if you really wont to feel some power gains get a supercharger.

That's my 2c

 

I want to see dyno sheets on that.

 

if I had the Dyno sheet i would post it i can contact my buddy and see if he still has it.

 

Even if this was the case for the 2nd gen Tacoma, what is 8hp extra going to do for me at 4400rpm? That's almost at the top of my power band.

 

Don't get me wrong i agree with on that one I don't ever hit 4400rpm i just wanted to point out that there is gains on the 3.4's i don't know if there is any gains on the 4.0's.

From the other forums I have been reading no one has gained anything on the 4.0's but i have yet to find Negative Dyno results on the 3.4's all i have to go by in my Friend that was a hot rod mechanic that told me about the spacer and the gains he seen with the 3.4

Now he could be full of shit I don't know i contacted him and told him there is a lot of guys out there that say this thing is crap.
He told me he will look for the test sheet and he will get back to me.
