A throttle body spacer lengthens the throttle body. This creates a longer path for the incoming air to travel. By doing this. It allows the air more time to "expand" therefore aligning the electrons in the optimal configuration for maximum energy release during combustion. this change in in the "energy's focal point" often leads to HUGE gains in power once tuned correctly.
And it does it all for $29.99. Lol

The 5.4 has a variable length manifold which would negate the swirling effect when the cmcc operates.
I just took mine off and sold it to another sucker. Runs better in my opinion.
If you want to reduce intake turbulence, sand out the casting roughness in the throttle body. Wd40 and some 220 grit takes care of it. It's just like polishing your intake runners
