Default new throttle body and tbs?

Ok so after getting my other mods im already looking for more, haha im hooked! what can I say?

anyway. I saw this new throttlebody with the tbs below it
the T.B says 10hp bolt on and so does the tbs.. now i have a hard time thinking putting both on would give me 20 more hp but what do you guys think?
i figured someone here would know, as im not exactly the most knowledgeable with engines, i just know how to pay for ****, and drive fast.. lol. so thanks for any replys...

Throttle Body Spacer is an expensive paper weight. The Throttle Body adds very little if any power. For $289, your better spending your money on something that gives you real gains.

The TBS will go you no gains, at all. it's a complete waste.

If you got the money I say go for it. Even if they do not work, the BBK parts look better and are better quality then the stock parts. Everyone keeps passing on the the word that a throttle body and spacer do nothing, but only few have tried them. I have the MMR tbs and I would say that my car runs better with it. And, if I had everything I wanted for my car and had an extra 300, I would get the throttle body too. Sure there is (some) evidence that the TB and spacer does nothing on the dyno, but one or 2 tests isn't enough for me. Your call man cause its ur money.

EDIT--

But, a better mod would be an aluminum drive shaft.
