That bog is design intent, it is supposed to lesson the initial load on the transmission. At least that is what a buddy who works for Ford told me . You can get a tuner to lesson this.

Get a tune, your issue is most likely throttle delay due to the drive by wire.

And like it was said TB Spacers do NOTHING except make noise and you wallet lighter!
