Post Throttle Body Spacer

Have had no luck finding a throttle body spacer for my 2000 Explorer with a 5.0L. Anyone out there who might have a suggestion where I might be able to locate one? Also, is it a worthwhile addition for improving performance?

Thanks for any assistance offered.

Klaus

Throttle Body Spacer

I put one on my 95 Jeep Cherokee and noticed NO IMPROVEMENT in mileage or HP contrary to what the ads would have you believe. My observation is that they are a waste of money. They also create a "whistling" noise like a manifold leak.
