My Ride: See sig :)
After reading about this TB spacer, in short, its garbage lol. It worked well for carb setups, but essentially what it does is give the air comming in better "flow" which is suppose to increase hp. Some mustang owners claim that this mod has given them 5hp, who knows. I say save the $ and get a high flow filter, and perhaps an rpi scoop.

It doesnt improve flow...and its not supposed to. Its like you going on a slide. If the slide is short, youre not going to pick up a lot of speed or velocity coming down right? Well, if you extend the slide 10ft, youre going to pick up speed coming down. Its basic physics but looking at the type of intakes they make, I cant see any real R&D being done other than "lets make this fit and I bet people will buy it".

Knowing Afe it would probably lose power. But I bet if Singh Autosport starts selling these at $649, and claiming 25hp, rappers and actors will be buying left right centre.
