Default Throttle Body, Plenum, and spacers Questions!

I have read previous posts and I plan to get a 75mm Accufab TB and Plenum, unless someone convinces me otherwise. I was wondering about the spacers you can buy for between the TB and Plenum. Also for between the Plenum and the Intake manifold. Do these help or will the hurt performance? Also, where do you need gaskets when doing this install?

i have the accufab tb and c&l plenum combo. i bought a motorvation tb spacer, i dont know if it works, but bought it to have it on the car. just a piece of mind for me. you will need a gasket for the plenum and tb combo and spacer if you put one on. the plenum to intake doesnt need one or at least mine didnt.

If you buy the Accufab TB/Plenum combo it will come with the gaskets needed. Skip the spacer.

I would most likely skip the spacer, but I might buy a slightly used setup that came with the spacers? And did not know if they really help or hurt.

spacers are a load of crap, theyre right up there with the turbinator. im pretty sure they dont do anything, accept spin the air into a "vortex" to better atomize the air....oh wait i meant to type add more turbulence and reduce the smooth air flow haha
