From my understanding, the spacer on our intake/engine setup will do little to nothing.

hell no. fuel injection is direct at the head port. spacers don't do anything.

i agree with what the other guys said spaces are pointless. i read a article on spacers a while ago and it said that if you want to see any noticeable difference from a spacer it would have to be like a foot tall or something ridiculous like that

Only thing they are good for is providing space for running a 14x3

haha...no one ever reads the "read this before you post" sticky...cracks me up. But to the op, throttle body spacers are a waste of money. The throttle body modification is boring out the TB to a larger size to allow more air. Usually gives you more mid-range response.
