AndyGJ Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I don't know if this had been previously discussed here before, but saw an add from a parts vendor for these and wondered if for $59 and a claimed improvement of 10hp, is this worth it to add to my 08 SGT? Second question - I'm about to purchase a 2010 Ford Expedition Limited this weekend (being delivered to dealer) and wondered if I should add that to the 5.4 in the Expedition for a small bump as well. Any thoughts?? Thanks, AndyGJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hill Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I believe 10hp from a spacer might be a little bit of a strech. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts?? Thanks, AndyGJ I installed one when upgrading my throttlebody just for the hell of it. Every bit helps !! I own a 2008 expedition, I wouldn't mess with it that much and the spacer is not worth it on there. If anything maybe a CAI and a tune. I been researching it for awhile and alot of tuners don't do it for expeditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been researching it for awhile and alot of tuners don't do it for expeditions. Thanks for the info. I have been looking at CAIs for the Expedition. K&N has a unit, and I've used their upgraded simple filter swap on my Explorers & Expeditions before with slight improvements. Do you think there is a large difference between the CAI and the filter upgrade? Any CAI in particular that you would recommend? Thanks!

stormeaston Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 They are worthless on fuel injected cars, they do help atomize fuel on older carburetored engines. Don't waste your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RACERX009 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I agree not worth the money for that set up and plus the truck won't improve the gas mileage my 08 get like 9mpg in city and 19 on the highway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleoc Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I have a throttle body spacer on my car. It looks nice. Does nothing, but it does look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
