The throttle body spacer permits more air than usual to go into the engine. Thus, the engine does not have to work as hard in order to get the correct amount of air into the combustion chamber. One of the main benefits of a throttle body spacer is an increase in horsepower.
Do throttle body spacers increase throttle response?
These spacers improve throttle response, low to mid-range power, and fuel economy. They accomplish this by speeding up and spinning the air as it enters the engine.
Do throttle body spacers need a tune?
Throttle body spacers do not affect overall performance or delivery of air / fuel. Since these spacers have little bearing on performance, a tune is not required after installation.

This gives the engine increased power and torque, which may be helpful in situations such as towing. Commonly, adding an aftermarket throttle body can increase engine power by 15 hp to 25 hp.
Does throttle body spacer increase mpg?
Fuel economy improvement from a throttle body spacer alone would be minimal, especially when towing. They will improve the performance of an engine which can help and hurt fuel economy. If you are typically an aggressive driver, improved engine performance will actually hurt your fuel economy.
Can you use a throttle body spacer with a cold air intake?

How much HP will a throttle body add?
Is upgrading a throttle body worth it?
A bigger throttle body means more air And since the engine is basically a large air pump, increasing the air intake level will increase the engine’s power output as well, in some cases by up to 15 to 25 hp.
