They make good paper weights.

My Air Raid CAI kit came with the spacer, they're running a promotion right now.
Free spacer with CAI purchase, just installed both today. Don't know about gains, but it was free.

I agree with the "paper weights" comment.
I know of no one that gained a thing with TB spacers.
I owned and raced 4 dif(79,82,88,92) mustang 5.0s and had friends that raced mustangs and tried the TB spacers and gained nothing.
Lots of gimicks out there.

It's true, spacers don't do anything for you and the claims the spiral in the spacer helps "corkscrew" the incoming air to cut down on turbulance is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

The funny thing is, is that a cork screw afect in the in take would be a bad thing on the tundra. We have an Acoustically Controlled Induction System or A.C.I.S. for sort.

air comes in differently for low rpms vrs high rpms.

We can go into this alot but all you need to know is that the induction system dose better with a strait moveing air pattern then a spinning one. After the air gets into the induction system it controls the patterens itself. So a spacer on a tundra is like a hat on a dead guy sure it looks cool but serves no purpose.

"paper weights"........ lol rofl good point.
