Default Some questions regarding parts and HP gain

So for once, Im really researching about parts to try and make my car a lil faster, stronger. I have come across some parts that I woud like to get some opinions on as far as power gains or if they are even worth it. So far I have come across.

65mm throttle body:
Pulleys:
Throttle Body Spacers:

Do these provide any gains, worth the money?

65mm throttle body: Good if your upper/lower intake are ported to match.
Pulleys: Good, but only at upper rpms (according to me and my pully).
Throttle Body Spacers: Do nothing at all

Spacers are a waste of money. Pullies will give you some Hp gains. 65mm T/b will only be good if you port you intake upper and lower to match. If you want a spacer go with the upper and lower intake spacer they are about 100 on ebay or a bit less and will add about 8 to maybe 10 more hp. Or you can always get the intake of a windstar and swap it out.

I'd get the pulley and forget the other two.
