RE: saleen s/c/ and t/b spacer
I'll be honest--I don't have any firsthand experience here--BUT, I think it would do absoloutley nothing with a Supercharger.
The whole point of the throttle body spacer is that it increases the plenum volume of the air intake, which in turn changes it's resonance characteristics, which can affect (hopefully for the better) the filling of the cylinders. However, all that gets thrown out the window when you've got a pump forcing air into the cylinders.

Stock TB is just fine and doesn't need the spacer since you are pulling air through it and then compressing it. If anything, the extra length of the spacer will add "conductance" to the system and the screws will have a harder time pulling air.
