Dunno about the throttle body spacer, but the upper/lower intake spacers are a good upgrade. You can tell a difference when installing these (more torque). Not sure about the gas milage though. Hope this helps!

The Tornado has been proven several times over to make no difference and will sometimes turn in less power due to the added restriction.

Another thing with the tornado.....you have to buy two for the F series, because of the twin intake hoses. That's for the fuel injected engines anyway, carbureted just needs one, but again... I wouldn't waste money on a tornado.
