throttle body spacers

do your get much gains with thePowr-Flo Throttle Body Spacer

 

like he said^^^^^ tbs= waste of $

 

they make nice paper weights tho.

 

ya i have one on my truck, i noticed a slight difference when i had my kn intake on it, but really.... you dont get better fuel mileage, your truck isnt going to be fast because of it and really i bought it when i was younger and didnt know anything. They really arent worth the powder to blow it to hell. So coming from a guy who has one, dont waste your money.... my .02

 

They are Junk.

 

is a throttle body spacer the same thing as an intake manifold spacer, ive just always wondered that

 

Basically, yes, it's the same thing.
You hear two arguments about these things...well, maybe more than that, but two come to mind.
1) They work because they twist/twirl/whirl/speedup/increase/straighten/warm/cool/whatever the intake air supply, and the manufacturers didn't use them because they don't know about this revolutionary technology/the government won't let them use this revolutionary technology because it would kill the petroleum industry/they want to add it later on as a last-ditch effort to jump mpg's up to satisfy the EPA.
2) They don't work because they don't twist/twirl/whirl/speedup/increase/straighten/warm/cool/whatever the intake air supply, and the manufacturers didn't use them because they know about this bogus technology/having "modifiable" vehicles means customer interest will remain high in those vehicles/they're metal snake oil (aka-junk).
Personally, I think under CERTAIN conditions on CERTAIN setups they could offer benefits, but I've seen enough different intake setups to know that there will never be one cure-all answer for this kind of issue. The only way you can know if it works for you on your ride is to try it...but don't tell anybody if it doesn't work so you won't be made fun of here you idiot you.
One important factor: even if it's junk, if it feels like it works, then for you...it works. And those ads are darned persuasive, aren't they?
Just so you know, I've never used one. But I have sold them and people have come back to me and said they work. Who knows?
Just send me your money and I will tell you that you have more horsepower. It's just that easy.
