intake spacer?
 
I was at the Rod Run in Pidgeon Forge Tn last weekend and this guy was selling " PHENOLIC INTAKE SPACERS" for the mustang 4.6. They claimed they would increase throttle response and add minimal HP. I didn't buy one cause I see them on E-bay for 10 bucks less. Is there any truth to this? can you see any type gain either throtle or HP? Just interested!

I put a Steeda 10mm spacer on my 2000 and noticed a little better midrange throttle response. You can't really feel 2-3hp with the butt-o-meter, though. If you have the rest of the bolt-ons, it's probably worth it because it all adds up, but don't expect to notice too much with just a spacer. Just don't pay $200 for one like Paul's High Performance was charging.

Didn't expect any BIG difference, but if I buy one for $ 25 bucks I want to know it's not another "tornado" or electric blower:eek: :eek: I've done about everything I can and I'm jonesing for something to tinker with. :D :D

Consider this...

Buy a spacer with a threaded back hole. Then you can hook up a dry shot really easy...
