how much do throttle body spacers actually do?they say about 25 horsepower and 25 foot pounds of torque. but that doesnt sound right. what do you think it will do to a 360? thanks!

In my opinion they do nothing for today's motors. Back in the days of TBI they helped a little, but now they're better paperweights.

don't waste your money. it may help a little on chevy and ford with TBI but not on a dodge. In the barrel style intake manifold, spinning the incoming air, does nothing for you. again, paperweight.

I bought one for my 5.9, i didn't notice much other than a decent increase in throttle response. It seemed to have a effect on mileage too. Can't say i'd buy it again but at least it looks cool and paired with my CAI it sounds a bit like a turbo on start up and when you mat it.

My first ever wasted mod money when I was a didn't know crap about Hemis back in 2007 Newbie I too got taken., and even when I ran the Brute force CAI it came with one and because of my previous experience with the 1st one I did not put it on and the Hemi hat hold down clips on my model would no longer line up as well. I had always wondered why some Mopar CAI come with one but never followed up on it for said reason even though I support the Mopar Performance products.
