Looking to install a new throttle boys in my 2015
Please note I have no automobile experience what so ever

At first I wanted to go with the BBK 85mm being it was a full 85mm boar straight through. thought process it must be better than the factory modified Moe's/Fastman/Modern Muscle units as it is made from scratch to be high performance, however after reading reviews and some of the horror stories attached the the BBK part I am off that train and on the modified car as I am reading many good things, especially about the Moe's unit

That being said are all modified unit created equal ?

Lastly I hear many mixed things about the spacers? My thought was if I am going to put one on why not do it while I have it all apart.

Are these spacers worth the cash and do they boost low end acceleration as they are advertised too or is it just marketing BS ?

Thanks

I was in your position 3 months ago. Did tons of research on Throttle body's for my 2016 RAM R/T. I finely went ahead and got one of Moe's 87mm ported TB. Very happy with it so far, easy to install and noticeable power increase at WOT! I got a ported TB because I'm doing Headers and a tune.

Agree, says a lot to have first hand help here from vendors, Matt is here, BBK is not.

And agree, forget spacer.

They only really work on carb engine, only thing you may here is a slight whistle like a turbo, sounds bad ass but doesn't do anything
