Throttle body spacers? Should I?

I don't think imma hook up nitrous to the car 😂 Because I'm trying to just upgrade my car for some horsepower and torque but would a aftermarket throttle body make a change or not worth the money?

if you do not plan to throw nitrous at it(which is a cheap way to make horsepower) then NO! a throttle body spacer is a waste of money as it doesnt do jack chit

I installed a P2R throttle body Spacer and their thermo gaskets with it. I haven't noticed a difference although XLR8 has some dyno sheets somewhere on the forums. If anything I would think it's from the thermo gaskets rather than the spacer itself. I wouldn't buy it again but if you got the mod bug like I had when I bought it, might as well find something to change
