a spacer is fine, but the gains are next to nothing compared to the gains from the actual TB. get both cant hurt too much.

it will give a few horses, but even more the more power you push out of it. (IT being the engine, not the TB)

Check out this article. I think it's on a jeep but this chick does some dyno tests on a TB spacer and bored out IM and bigger TB. It's interesting because the TB spacer actually restricted airflow but provided a gain in Hp by cooling and extending air volume.
