Default Trottle body spacers WITH an aftermarket throttle body???

Hey, I've got a '97 ram 1500 with a 5.2 liter magnum and I've had it for a couple of months so now I'm trying to make it pretty
nice so I've already bought some headers for it and I'm about to put an entire flowmaster american thunder exhaust system in it.
next I was planning on getting a KnN intake kit for it along with some trottle body spacers. What I've been wondering is if i Bought an aftermarket throttle body from say, Holley, could I use spacers on that and if so would it be a good idea?
Thanks!!

Don't buy any TB spacers...they are useless. Those were designed fora better a/f mixture with TB injection set-up. Having a fuel rail, it does nothing for you except take your money...don't do it.

I just tried out a spacer. I had bought it a while ago. While they do work good for TBI engines all it does for the Ram is make the air filter a PITA to get to and makes it impossible to put on a 14x3 filter.

If you still want a spacer though I will give mine away less shipping. It dosen't whistle, it dosen't do a thing. The butt Dyno felt no difference between the spacer and no spacer. I also ran it with a Fastman. It was like $225, and it looks really good.
