Throttle Body Spacers???

roundeye82 · 07-02-2003, 04:56 PM

I have an '03 GT. I want to add a throttle body spacer. Which would be the best, a 1/2" Phenolic spacer or a 1" Motorvator spacer??? Also which pulley set is the best Steeda or March???
Any advice is much appreciated.

I have the 1/2" phenolic spacer on mine. I got it off of ebay for like $20. The plastic spacers are going to be better because they don't dissipate the heat as much. As far as pullies go I have no experience with them, but I do trust steeda and have good things about thier pully set.

The Steeda pulleys are built very well and the crank pulley is one piece, not a piggy back pulley like many others. The crank pulley is also SFI approved as a bonus.

Yea I saw a PHENOLIC MUSTANG INtake spacer for like 20 bucks, are they worth it, they advertise 5-10 horsepower and up to 8% better gas mileage with better throttle responce, are they worth it?

Also I did a search as well and I'm gonna get one anyhow, are they hard to install?? Thanks

Makes sence though, raises the intake with the plastic cause it doesnt heatsoak as much so you get a cooler dense charge kinda, I'm gonna buy it and I'm not gonna be like wow I picked up .2 or somethin but every little bit helps
