Default Let it breath
So I'm driving my first Ram. Gotta say I love it. 2012 regular cab sport / with a couple mods. Pushing approx 420 horse and about 450 fp torque. Definitly quick for power to weight ratio. Just wondering if a throttle body spacer is worth the cost. Never had one before. With traction on at 45 Kmh it still lets loose and fishtails.
Any input is greatly appriciated

No. Tb spacers are a waste of money on a port injected engine.

Ok thanks. The only thing I heard is it will give better response off the line. But that's all.

On a carbureted or TBI engine, yes. Not on a port injected engine.

jkeaton is correct. Spacers do nothing for modern engines.

Yep, nothing but a paper weight. Think about it, how can a TB spacer do anything for a fuel rail system???
