Anyone tried installing a throttle body spacer?

I heard positive results on smaller vehicles, what could I expect on a V10 Ex?

They make great paper weights.

Nope. Nothing positive at all. Maybe the ones you heard it work on had carburetor(s). That'd be the only situation were there could possible be an advantage.

For Monsta

Hey I think we have the same model 05 Excursions, how much did it cost for the entire seat cover set, and where would be good place to start looking?

Maybe 30 years ago. I wouldn't mess with that precise engineering. There will always be someone there to sell you something if they can convince you that it will benefit you.

always room for improvement. 4.0L jeep ZJ w/ AirRaid TBS and Ford Motorsports 24LB injectors made the little 6 cylinder think it was a v8.

I had one of them on my V-8 Dakota and it was the prettiest thing in the engine compartment. Red anodized aluminum. Sweet. Did it do anything?

I traded the Dodge in when I bought my X. Question answered?

Welcome.
