ok well i was pretty skeptical at first but i must say it was worth the 45 bucks i spent on it it really improved the throttle body lag it made the car alot easier to drive. cant say it made the car any faster but it has a super neat whistle sound if you get the throttle just right it was easy install but i did have to trim my engine cover for fitment

I had the $50 DYNAMIC RACING 1/2 in. Throttle body spacer on my old 05' GT Stang 2 years ago. I noticed no difference in power and responce. If anything - it moved my CAI kit foward toward the radiator shroud causing it to not sit properly .
Not a wise investment.
Here is a pic with the stock air box attached.

Glad you like yours.

Not trying to rain on your parade but I have back-to back- dyno tested 3 different brands of those so far. Two were on an '05 V6 and one was on a '06 GT. ALL 3 lost exactly 2 horsepower.

Granted, 2 hp is within the 1% repeatability you can expect from the dyno. But still, all three lost hp.

you guys can say what you want but when you drive a car everyday you notice when a car is easier to drive and when you do a full throttle pull and there is no lag it is safe to assume in my eyes that it was the tbs im not saying horsepower torque or anything else was gained i said it was a smoother ride thats all
