Throttle body spacers

Has anyone had a lot of success or noticed any real power gains with a throttle body spacers. I searched and only came up with stuff for TBI units and I was wondering how they affected TPI setups.

I was also wondering if these make any difference or if it's worthless similar to an air foil. And Also Iroc-E-89 tell us how it turns out and als that better make a hell of a difference for $120. And on a side note I was thinking depending on how large it is, Is it possible to have fitment issues as far as the snorkel getting to crammed. Let us know man

That spacer is for a TBI setup...

Do they even make spacers for TPI? I doubt it, I can't see it having any effect.

Why would want to make the air have to travel any farther than it already does to get to the cylinder?

Waste of money.

It's got to do with changing the path of the air.

On a TPI motor? the LAST thing you want is to create turbulance in the plenum.
