MMR has a throttle body spacer for $60. They claim 10HP/TQ increases. Can anyone weigh in on this mod?

I mean, $60 is a night at the movies (here in DC, anyway), so the cost is nothing. I will probably order the darn thing BUT it will go on with the headers, Prochamber, duals, 93 Tune, so the gains from just it will be "lost in the sauce" when I dyno and tune everything. However, has anyone used one on another car or know if they actually give gains? Any gains for $60 and I will be happy.

 

I have the T/B Spacer on my GT and its fantastic! It's a bang for the buck! If you want a little more horsepower and torque, this def gives you it. It also increased your GAS MILEAGE, and def. gets ride of that throttle lag with the electronic T/B! I have the JET one for the GT, I called JET about it a while ago and they said they weren't going to make one for the V6, however Airaid, another T/B Spacer co said they were in the process of designing one! I would def. go for it.

 

No, No, No!!! Just send me the $60 and I'll do a magic dance around a picture of your car and it will instantly have 20 more HP!!!! I'll even post a video of it so you can be assured the car has been magically enchanted!!! LOL!

So I guess now you know how I feel about the TBS and MMR... LOL!

 

Umm, by the way, i just checked MMR, its for a GT, not a V6! did you post this in the wrong forum?

 

I may be mistaken, but I think that's for the GT.

 

Maverick...ya beat me to it! Looks like we were typing at the exact same minute.

 

The site says, "

MMR Throttle Body Spacer

This bolt on increases plenum volume and increases power and torque by up to 10HP/10lb ft lbs!! Complete w/hardware and instructions. Works with ALL throttle bodies and Intake kits. Supercharged vehicles see even more increases!"

I couldn't see where it was GT specific, but you have a good point. I will call before I order.

 

MMR has a GT version and will be releasing a V6 version soon...

 

I would pay $60 to see you dance around my car!!! But you have to be wearing a yellow tutu, swinging a feather boa, and singing, "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt..."

 

Thanks for the information, gentlemen, once again, I will have to wait until the performance market shines a light on us...

 

over at 3.8Mustang.com they say TB spacers for their models are worthless unless maybe you already have an aftermarket throttle body (one from BBK for example) and a fully ported manifold. But who knows, if anyone gets it and can tell the difference then let us know!

 

hehe I have a comment on this as well...we're pretty lucky so far when it comes to the wide variety of products we have for our cars. My girlfriend has a 2003 3.8 Mustang and the market is limited to a few brands (BBK, MAC, FRPP). I'm pretty thankful that our cars are as customizable as they are. Just look at how many intake kits there are for example Give it a few months and we'll have pretty much every part the GT's have access to.

 

I know, I am just a big, whiny baby! Burger King has got me wanting it "My Way, Right Away!" Like the X-Charger! Like the LT Headers (which MAC has FINALLY made, although I really wanted JBA ones)! Like a catted Prochamber for LTs! Like a Turbo Charger (not 100% sold on the X-Charger). Like my Exam Grades (darn GMU LAW STILL hasn't posted my grades. But they cashed my check quick, fast, and in a hurry!)!

I am going to look into the TBS, though. I will let you all know if I find anything worthwhile.

These guys get MMR stuff FAST! They usually update before even the dealer websites (MAC, for example, and even JBA). They are in and I am going to order them for Poops and Grins! (Gee Willickers, I am now "self-editing.")

 

lol they must have heard of complaining huh?

 

I'm torn between the X-Charger and Mike's turbo also! And they are completely different! What's up with that?

 

Join the club!! :bang: I'm just gonna wait and let our brothers be the guinea pigs and then make a choice. LOL.

 

That's awfully caucasian of you! Lay back and let us blow OUR cars up.... And then own the road, eh?

 

Don't worry, I will take one for the team soon enough. LOL.

 

Yeah... amazing that it's not on MMR's site yet. Well, let us know what you think. Says it produces a 6 hp increase.

I've been trying to do a little research... found this blurb from another manufacturer's tb spacer

[The POWERAID TBS concept was developed to enhance mid-range power, torque and fuel efficiency. The unique dyno-proven "Helix Bore" of the POWERAID TBS causes a spinning action of the incoming air-charge as it passes through the throttle body. This extremely beneficial air-charge carries all the way into the combustion chamber, producing a super-atomized mixture, which produces tremendous gains in mid-range power and overall efficiency. This is the key element to the horsepower success behind each POWERAID TBS.]

I just don't see how they do much of anything except extend the intake tube.
