It's suppose to cause the engine to cool a little quicker and give it a little more horse power (so it's said) from what I've read it's a crock but I'm just leaving mine in. It's suppose to circulate the air into the engine kind of like a tornado but who knows

Hi.

Wellsir, you heard wrong.

- There is NO additional cooling.
- There is NO benefit to adding turbulence to the incoming air charge - it's turbulent enough already just passing by a partially open throttle plate.

Wishful thinking folks. And the makers of these are all laughing their collective asses off at the poor wingnuts who will actually believe their bogus marketing and willingly open their wallets to these thieves.

Same folks who believe Fartmaster's claims, I reckon ...

Hi.

Do? For what?

Certainly, what you clearly should NOT do is waste any money on this paperweight.

That Vampire was staked long ago - and some kid telling you different because he read it "somewhere" or his buds all run 'em, wasted his $$$ and now is too embarrassed to admit he effed up, will not change a thing in the real world. Sorry.

Are you asking what you should put that money towards? The answer to that is simple - a custom-tuned SCT flash programmer form a reputable custom tuning vendor.

That said - it IS your money. If you just can't live without a useless TB spacer for whatever reason, I'm not gonna stop you. It's not my truck, nor my money.

All we can EVER do at the end of the day, is give y'all the best advice we can - most of it hard-won. It's up to you whether or not you choose to heed it.

Good luck,


MGD

It is bad that when I see the title "throttle body spacer" the words on the screen magically change to "a useless paper weight?"
