Default Is a throttle body and spacer worth it?

Will the gains be enough to spend $410 on those two items?

From what I have heard, no.
I beleive a few dynos were done and showed little to none added HP for both.

get the TB and spacer and also the turbonator if u want serious horsepowergains, u will get an estimated 90hp, but in the real world u get about 1 rwhp extra... and that can be just down to a difference in dyno runs. all that crap with its over exagerated horsepower gains is just junk. get a tuner
