Throttle Body Spacers

I don't know about that, Jim. I was having shifting issues with my new Marauder:( and the Ford dealership had no clue as to the problem.:confused: Had to come to this forum to find out about the Xcal 2. Voila, shifting problems solved.:D The dealership also rotated my tires front to back the first time in...but that's another story.:eek:

I think the big tyres iz supposed to mount on da front :lol:

Any Technician that does this should be fired or retrained. Not many cars are staggered but when it comes to Corvettes, BMW's, Certain Mustangs and other Muscle/Sports/Exotics alike people should pay more attention. I worked at a Ford dealer and we had a 03 MM trade-in come through. I was the only one who spotted that screw up and I made the honorary correction myself even though I was only a detailer. I seen people screw up Directional tires too by rotating them into the wrong positions.

As for Throttlebody spacers I read lots of positive postings on crownvic.net since they are meant for the 2V engines, they are not made for the 4V's.

Gawd I wish I could sell blocks of aluminum for $100 bucks a whack to suckers! I'd be a millionaire!!! Maybe aluminum doorstops that improve aerodynamic efficiency when walking through a doorway allowing people to walk faster??? Yeah! That sounds good!!! :D

Hey easy there. Mine are made out of pheonollic. The name alone is worth an extra $15.

We are talking about the intake spacer here.......

My point is if the factory could get more mileage, HP & torque with a cheap mod, don't you think would do that or redesign the intake / throttle body?

Glad you got your shifting issues solved. As for the tire rotation that is a common mistake as there are not too many cars out there with staggered tires like ours.......

Not if the factory had to spend $.84 more per unit. :lol:
 
The key words in the performance claim(s) ... up to. *The CYA caveat.

Which usually means .... Don't bet/count on of obtaining those gains on your particular vehicle.

Throttle body and/or intake spacers can be used to move the peak HP and/or torque to a different RPM range. Theoretically by artificially changing the intake runner length.

But as for the helix, spiral effect ....
