P2b TB spacer w/ thermal gaskets.

Is this worth it?

I heard it can help me with torque and since i have a auto tranny I really need that cause I have no off the line torque.
my average 0-60 is 7.2 seconds with all my mods

and might be going to the track this weekend to get my new 1/4 mi time since the only time ive gone is when my car was bone stock.

I dont want to drop 120$ and not get something thats worth it but i have heard it adds like 8-9 ft lbs of torque and maybe 5 hp if im lucky.

Do the MDX IM Spacer Mod. Some nice low end torque number and about $80 new from the dealership.

How are you launching? Your time seems a little slow given your mods. I would have thought something like 6.5 s with a good launch.

Seriously 7.2 is bad for a stock 5at. And I wouldn't have gotten the HFC unless you are planning PCDs

I have the outlaw engineering therma im and tb spacers. Make a Huge different during WOT. After WOT the TB n IM is cool to the touch, thus preventing heatsoak at WOT. But if you don't go WOt that much get the MDX. Very nice low end tq gain.

Take the car to the track. Trying to time yourself 0-60 is useless for many reasons.

Skip the spacer and gasket BS mods. I don't care to get into the reasons why, it's been gone over before. It's a total waste of money.

Spend the money on exhaust mods instead.
