Page 2 of 2 Part-Throttle Power Upgrade Any truck enthusiast who has ever bolted on larger-than-stock tires or pulls a trailer knows there can never be enough torque, especially in the low- to mid- rpm ranges. The never-ending hunt for grunt just got easier, thanks to the folks at Airaid. Their Helix-Bore PowerAid throttle body spacers are famous for enhancing an engine's low-end torque and midrange power band, while also helping in the fuel economy department as well.
How do they work? The patented Helix-Bore design actually spins the incoming air charge, boosting velocity and improving atomization into the intake and combustion chamber. The result is a boost in torque from approximately 800-3,000 rpm. Also, with improved efficiency in filling the combustion chamber, it's not uncommon to see a boost in fuel economy as well.
PowerAid throttle body spacers simply install between the throttle body and intake manifold. Each PowerAid comes complete with all the necessary mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions. PowerAids are available for a variety of both gas and diesel applications. |  |  The PowerAid throttle body spacer is fitted with the supplied gaskets... |  ...and wedged between the intake manifold and throttle body. Be sure to pay attention to the marks on the TBS to install it properly with the correct side facing the throttle body. | |  The supplied longer mounting hardware is cranked down to secure the PowerAid in position. |  With our Airaid intake assembly installed we were ready for tire frying fun and a quick throttle flog on the Stillen dyno. With just a half-hour of labor our '04 Ford F-150 picked up 9.02 horsepower and 9.5 ft.-lbs. of torque. |  | | Source Box: | Performance Air Intake & Throttle Body Spacer
