No, an aftermarket intake like K&N or Airaid will make your Trac run better. If the engine can breathe better it will run better. Get the better intake, and get a better exhaust. The truck will run much better.
A throttle body spacer can save fuel as well as improve performance. This is done by adjusting the flow of air and fuel as it enters the intake.
= Ford Throttle Body Spacer Description = In order for the engine of a Ford to run well, it needs a high volume of dense air coming into the combustion chamber at all times. Increasing the amount of air coming in to the engine will give the engine a power boost, and the Ford throttle body spacer is just the part to do the job. When installed, it will sit between the throttle body and the cold air intake. As the air comes into the Ford throttle body spacer, it is accelerated by a set of ridges that induces a vortex pattern into the flow. This allows the cold sir intake to move air in quicker. The Ford throttle body spacer also compresses the air, so that a larger amount will fit into the combustion chamber. The engine's computer will then increase the amount of fuel injected into the mixture, and when the combination is ignited, the resulting explosion will push the pistons down with more force. With the Ford throttle body spacer installed, the vehicle will gain several horsepower, and it will also see an increase in gas mileage. Because the hardware and gaskets that are required to install the Ford throttle body spacer are included in the kit, all that will be needed is a few simple tools. After the cold air intake is disconnected from the throttle body, and the gasket removed, the Ford throttle body spacer and gaskets can be installed. We carry the Ford throttle body spacer for many models in our online catalog, and with an easy, toll-free phone call or through our secure web site, the unit can be easily ordered. http://www.car-stuff.com/fordthrottlebodyspacer.htm

I have a '06 manual with Steeda underdrive pulleys, a C&L Cold Air Intake, a throttle body spacer, and a Diablosport Predator Tuner. I'm soon to install a twin 62 mm throttle body and I have a zex nitrous wet kit on order. For the money the intake and pulleys and tuner provided great results.
Cold Air Intake System, Throttle Body Spacer, Performance Exhaust System, Performance Programmer, Electric Radiator Fan, High Performance Synthetic Oil, Premium Octane Gas. K & N, AirAid, Gibson, Hypertec, Derale, Royal Purple. Are all highly recommended brands. Check out the Related Link below.
Yes, you can. TBI stands for Throttle Body Injection, and a spacer can be used provided you have the clearance for it.
bolted to the back of the throttle body spacer (elbow shaped thingy on top of the intake.)
The throttle body spacer is a small piece of metal that is attached the back of a throttle body. It is suppose to change the airflow which can potentially give you more horsepower and better fuel economy.
ok ok first you need to unscrew the top of the intake (assuming you have the stock one) then you pull out the intake and then take off bottem then you take off the inlet hose. after doing that you remove the paper ring ontop of the throttle body and then you take a hammer perferably a metal one and smack it as hard as you can until it is competely ruined then you drop kick in your windshield and slam the hood shut as hard as you can
there is a ton of stuff to do, computer chip, cold air intake, exhaust, or a new camshaft, bore the engine bigger, intake manifold, throttle body spacer, tons of stuff......
i bought an Air Raid intake system and throttle body spacer. it cost just over $300, and it feels like i have a new jeep. it was very easy to install, took me less than an hour. i have 33 inch tires, and my 4.0 had a hard time keeping up in fifth gear before the install. now my power is better throughout the rpms. generally, any time you decrease the airflows resistance from intake to exhaust, horsepower, gas mileage, and throttle response is increased.
you can add a throttle body spacer, add a msd kit and platinum spark plugs and wires, cold air intake, you could gain about 15-20 more hp.
