Air raid throttle body spacer on a 4.7. Any good?

02ramboi · May 30, 2017

Has anybody used the air raid throttle body spacers. Do they see a difference is gas milage or any difference in power. Is it worth the money. Any info is appreciated.

Can't speak for the 4.7 or air raid but I wouldn't pay that price for them, I had trans dapt (half the price) and a Spectre air intake on another vehicle and by the butt dyno it made a difference.

From everything i have ever read is no they don't do anything. They have been commonly referred to as a paper weight.

That's just what i have read. Never used one so i don't have an real world experience

That's what it seems like to me

On a fuel injected vehicle, a throttle body spacer makes absolutely no difference. Even if you think you feel it on the butt dyno, it didn't make a difference. That's just not how fuel injection works. On carbureted vehicles they did help slightly, but on modern vehicles, they're a paperweight.

I had a gift certificate for the intake so it cost 70, so for what I spent it was worth it to check out.

Don't waste your money. Spacers do nothing for fuel injected engines, unless you plan to port them for nitrous. This is a real sign of dishonesty by the seller.

In a carbureted system the spacer adds a little blend space and potentially imparts some swirl to improve the fuel air mixture.

In an injected system the fuel and air don't meet until just before entering the cylinder (or in the cylinder for direct injected engines). Anything the spacer did would be over long before the mix ever occurred,

Intake is a different story--there is legitimate grounds to discuss CAIs as modifications.

Spacers are just evil.
