Throttle Body Spacers

I was talking with this guy earlier that has a 1992 3/4 ton with the 460 (i have 94 3/4 ton 460), anyway he was telling me about some of his mods and showed me his powerstack throttle body spacer. He said that it made a difference but is it really worth the money it costs?

some say yes others so no..I have used spacer plates on carb engines and that did make a diff. I have not used one on the EFI type on engine so I can not say that it does or does not..I have research this a little being that I was going to replace my throttle body with a 65mm BBk backed up with a spacer and did not find it to be worth the cost to do so.. And I have a high flow exhaust system from the equalizer headers thru the high flow cat and muffler and out my 3in pipes.. now that inproved both econony and allowed my truck to breath better

This has been covered many times on here....Do a search on throttle body spacers..
The consensus is dont waste your money...If it really worked as they claim the factory would have been adding them and charging alot more...

I have a poweraid throttle body spacer on my 5.8L. I noticed a difference. It's not a high performance part, but it gives the engine a little extra oomph.
