Default Throttle Body Spacer

I have a 2004 F150 5.4 and I want to install a throttle body spacer. The ? Is...is it going to fit because I have a volant air intake installed already and it's already a tight fit. Let me know

It would be far more effective as a paperweight.

This^^^ TB spacers do nothing but add weight to your engine and reduce weight in your wallet!

You are both wrong, most people stack 2 or 3 TB spacers for maximum benefit. As always, you should run a cold air intake WITHOUT a proper tune, that is the safest way so you run lean and melt your catalytic converters.
