On a wet manifold like a carb or some other primitive fuel injections spacers are very effective. On dry manifolds, which most modern vehicles have, they're worthless because there's nothing but air going through them.

I had a 92 chevy with a TBI 350 and put a CFM-tech spacer on...I had to have a chip burned after the install because it ran so rich but even running rich the gains were noticeable.
