Throttle Body Spacer

About the /ONLY/ performance part I've found for my truck (exluding cat back systems) has been a throttle body spacer. Considering it is just a piece of 1" aluminum plating with a few holes drilled in it, I can't fathom them asking $90 for it. I'd like to know if anyone else has experience with a throttle body spacer before I blow my money on something useless.

TB Spacer = useles in fuel injected engines.

Swirling the intake air is nice, when it is needed.

On a carb, that's good, but since fuel is injected right into the cylinders on MPFI setups, that's not necessary.

Are there Superchip's available for your engine? Might be a good mod if you are willing to pay for premuim gas
