Message:
i'm looking into buying either a poweraid throttle body spacer or a helix power tower TBS, to increase power and mileage. Any recommendations as to which are better?
Thanks

If our engines mixed the fuel with air before the combustion
chamber (like with a carb) then it would work. These don't work
on our engines as our fuel is injected directly into the
combustion chamber.

What engine do you have? I've heard that the spacers dun work in the 3.9/5.2/5.9 engines, but they have been rumored to work well in the 4.7, I dun understand why. But hey, if you got a 4.7, buy one and let me know if it works, then I'll get one for mine, otherwise, I'm not botherin with it.

If you have a 5.2, the spacers may not allow you to close your hood when you put them on.

Well by putting it on your are effectively increasing the volume
of the intake manifold and therefore lengthening the runners
right?

I also heard that TBS's were useless for anything other than the 4.7, which i have, so i ended up putting a helix power tower on it. I noticed slight improvements in both mileage and power

Loose them.... Don`t you think that if a simple spacer would do all that is claimed the Auto. Manf. would put them on. Just a bunch of horse cocky
