The idea of a throttle body spaces is a carry over from the old school days of the carb spacer.

On a carberuated motor, a spacer could be added in-between the carb and intake manifold for a two-fold reason: to promote better airflow and swirl into the motor and more importantly to promote better atomization of the fuel being introduced into the airstream.

On a fuel injected car with a primarily dry manifold however, a throttle body spacer is nothing more than a waste of money. The fuel is being injected in the runners just prior to the radius into the head itself, so the spacer would have no effect on the atomization what so ever, not to mention that fuel injectors are designed with atomization in mind.

Spend your money elsewhere.
