A friend of mine told me he got an Airaid Poweraid throttle body spacer and immediately saw increased performance.

Was wondering yalls thoughts and opinions on throttle body spacers and also what yall have and what yall would recommend?

Thanks!

If you're friend told you that either he's....
1. lying to you
2. bamboozled by the whistle
3. an idiot....

Throttle Body Spacers do nothing for performance!! Complete waste of money....

Spacers are designed for fuel AND air to pass through ie-carb,tbi... So if its just air passing thought it offers no gains of any kind :)

Ha, i have one on both of my vehicles. But like everyone said. The whistle is the really the only reason people get one. When i bought my intake they sent me a free one. I've had a few turbo vehicles so i can appreciate the whining it makes. :)
