yeah, no promises, plus the results are so spaced apart (stock is 172whp on a mustang dyno), so my results might not be so great. Sorry for delay-- time, family, etc.

this product is insanely easy to install and caused absolutely no issues with room with my fujita SRI. i just cut about 3/4 of an inch off the first bit of tubing to the intake using a knife. fitment is great. the $100 is well worth it. took less than 20 minutes to install

Installed mine yesterday. Getting the studs out was a major pain in the ass but everything else was pretty easy... I'm gonna check if any hoses are bent or crooked from the added length.

uhh... did I miss something? why do we need a new radiator hose? I did this install and I don't think I need a new hose for any reason.

i have an aem cai. my intake hose was pushing the radiator hose with out the spacer. with the spacer it adds like another inch. i just went to advanced auto and got a rubber radiator hose. you may not need it. most people with cai's wil need a new hose because its rubbing and you dont wanna heat up your intake hose.

thanksomuch for the amazingly easy to follow DIY & subsequent posts by other members on issues or tips they had.

received my parts ($107 shipped from West Palm to Orlando in 2 days) being the p2r throttle body spacer & gasket combo today.

just finished up the install. took about an hour. the tolerance & clearances SUUUCK in our engine bays i must say. lol

not bad for a quick 5hp pickup tho. ill upload pics soon as i get back.

Talking

just got back from a late night cruise... im IMPRESSED. i can feel the added or rather, freed up power def. the revs climb faster & the throttle response has improved nicely as well (so far as expected with ***-ass drive by wire LOL!!) btw, the spacer has been coupled with my other recent addition; a K&N drop-in. so smooth i love it!!

+rep to OP for this DIY now that i have the time to do so. & galaxy for the reply.

Thanks. I do believe it pulls, and there are dynos here to prove it, but I have to dyno myself to believe it.
