Anyone make one? I found an AirRaid one on summit supposedly for 05+ Mustangs but it looks EXACTLY like our setup. Would it fit??:confused:

Funny you should bring this up, I was on Jegs today and I typed in Marauder and an S-Load of parts came up. Lots of spacers came up, maybe Zack or one of the other guys can tell you which is best.

Expect little to no gains from this except a lighter wallet.

+1 - if any gains at all they will all be at higher rpm with sacrifice at low end!

BTW Merc4hire, I like your 1987 Olds 442! I tapped on the weblink thinking there was a picture of a throttle body spacer, that you were talking about.

trans dapt makes 1, it is set up for stang linkage, our linkage sits different. alittle modification to bring linkage bracket forward. spacers or washers and longer screws plus thread lock will do it. adds alittle kick

LOL! THANKS! I actually picked it up to tinker with, then flip and make a few bucks. I got it for a STEAL!
I wish I could have every car I've had so far, but at 1 time like Jay Leno...that douche.:D

It's my firm belief that one can never own enough Mustangs...or Camaros...or Firebirds...and soon Vettes.:banana2:
Honestly though, if I had my way I'd only have 4 mustangs...

The Throttle Body one I did not feel would work well.
I got a PHP Intake Spacer Kit from Reinhart Automotive and it went on like a charm. Somewhere I read it was tested with a 5hp increase. Also
you don't have to trim to install it and provides more volume.
Reinhart was great with explaining the how to's.

I installed both first torque curve spacer. has 3 molded rings at different heights, 1st 1 not even 1/16, 2nd closes another 1/8'' 3rd is spaced a 16th, then closes another 16th of an inch. seems the velocity of the air is increased and directed better. What I do know is going by the B.O.M. and neck snap gauge adds alittle more torque. :up:

Oh I'm sure, they're sick cars. Since I can't have one of them I'm going to have to "settle" for a C5 Z06.:D I catually prefer it over a cobra R, but I still want an R too.
As for the spacers, anyone have any concrete info here? Because on some cars it seems to help, others not so much. I know it won't be night and day different, but I figured every little bit helps.

If the spacers were good for power gains they would be on lots of Marauders.
I Too, got sucked into purchacing mods that sound good but don't perform as advertised.
I got spacers for both Panthers, The one(s) for the GMQ I still have to install.

You mean the TB spacer or the intake spacer?

Ummm.... contact me in the future if you sell it.
If I am in a position to, I'd be interested.
