Funny thing about the tornado the new 3.6 eco boost F150 has two of them in the factory air ducts, OEM is driven by the aftermarket industry, I remember when 20" wheels were huge now you get 22"+ stock, I give it 5 years before TB spacers are installed OEM

All the more reason I won't buy a ford. They make a badass raptor too but if u use it for what it was made for the bed will bend at the cab. I'll pass on the tb spacer they do nothing for these engines

The only throttle body spacer worth anything more than a paperweight is one that has nitrious nozzles attached to it. Sorry, but placebo affect...it has been proven time and time again that they are just as much snake oil as the Tornado...please save your money by not going to the dyno.


+1. A very small percentage (and I mean very small) of cars/trucks will benefit from these (IE: show me on a dyno).

Yeah for modern engines throttle body spacers, tornado thing, aftermarket MAF, pulsar/E3 spark plugs provide minimal (if any) performance gains.

I doubt the Eco-Boost engine uses tornados, that would just be a source of pressure loss on the intake side in regards to the turbos. I do not know much about that engine, so if I am wrong, someone could provide the info.
