Can anyone tell me, in english I would understand, the benefits of a throttle body spacer. The manufactures description sounds like it's something I need, and for $100.00 it sounds like a good deal.???

It should increase air flow. thus more air flow + more fuel = HP. Of course this is my understanding of the throttle body spacer add on of the Ford Mustang.

TB spacer will slightly increase upper rpm HP and slightly decrease lower rpm HP. It's more of a psychological effect than anything. Basically, you're moving the power band up slightly(have I said slightly enough?). Past that, don't look for a noticeable increase in performance.
General rule--the more you spend, the faster you go. In the scheme of things, $100 is only the ante.

I tried it. Took it out. Sold it on eBay. Made noise and did not fit well.
