    Hi,
    I am running an S&B air intake system, Flowmaster FlowFX catback system and pedal commander. I am considering adding a throttle body spacer to the mix. Any recommendations/brands? Anyone install with exhaust and intake system and notice any increase in performance?

    I am keeping an open mind to headers and supercharger down the line. Reading magnuson reviews/forums seem like having those aftermarket upgrades listed would void the warranty with magnuson. Anyone with the supercharger have any other after markets systems installed and notice any issues?

    Thank you, Happy holidays!

    A little spacer you put at the TB with hopes and dreams of making more power like exhaust and intake on a stock car.

    If you like to pad your mod list with placebos, which is kind of sounds like you do, go for it.

    My advice is come to terms that you have a 5,000lb wind sail and quit adding minuscule things or just go big and get the SC.

    It used to have a place, it was a cheap way to increase intake manifold plenum volume and it helped stop heat transfer back when manifolds were metal and coolant was ran through the throttle body housing for emissions reasons.

    Sounds like more snake oil. Sure been a lot of that lately. I’m glad to be satisfied with my bone stock SR5.

    They don't do anything for engines that don't use carbs or TBI.

    It didn't do any of that to any measurable degree. Total snake oil.

    There's no good substitute for cubic inches or in our case, cubic centimeters.
    Like another 2,000cc could do it.

    Yeah I know, ain't gonna happen, and prolly get better fuel mileage to boot.
