TB Spacer

Has anybody tried any of the TB spacers that are out there? Claims are for better performance etc. I see them on ebay but prices vary all seem to be machined so I'm not really sure what the differance would be. Any thoughts out there?

You should have individual injectors; i.e. and injector at each cylinder runner. The throttle body spacer generally creates a swirl in the intake air and when injection is pre-intake runner, it may or may not help, hence the 5.7L Vortek by GMC. I don't think it'll do much good on a Ford

I think the 'Holy Grail' thread is about the spacer b/t the IAC and Throttle Body...different from a Throttle Body spacer.

now a phenolic spacer that goes between the upper/lower intake can be helpfull to increase runner length . but even those are $60+
