Default Is it worth it

So this isnt' as serious as it sounds. I wondering what others thought about throttle body spacers. I've read that the stock throttle bodies are good enough but i didn't see anything about the spacers are they worth it or not. i have a intake and tuner now with a new muffler.

They make great (but expensive) paperweights

TB spacer... You ARE kidding, right? I mean, you researched it and read all the articles dispelling the BS advertising. You used the search feature and found that 999 out of 1000 people claim they're useless. If you're looking for a nice tree ornament (so you can tell everyone what a dipchit you were for buying one), that's about what it's good for.

And you're correct that an aftermarket TB on a NA S197 engine is pointless as the stock TB flows more than enough air.
