only advantage

The only advantage of using a throttle body spacer is to take up slack in the cable. There are much cheaper ways to accomplish the same thing.

ive never been able to figure out how a throttle body spacer would improve power unless it was on a motor sporting a carb or two.

Yea I wouldn't pay the kinda money these company's sell them for. But I have a friend who mills billit all day on a cnc so mine was free. And I agree most of the gain you feel is the spacer taking up the slack out of the cable.

Only thing similar to this that I have bought, was a VIAS delete plate when i got my Fujita CAI for my Nissan Altima. The VIAS delete plate helped low end torque, the air intake was mainly for the noise, though I was getting almost 30 mpg average with the VQ35. I totaled it before i could order my headers and exhaust.
I was gonna order intake manifold spacers if i ever ordered the upper intake manifold i wanted, but that was only to blow money and see if it actually was helpful.
