Default 90mm Throttle Body Spaceer... worth it?

Do you really see any gains out of adding a throttle body spacer?

If you look around, you won't see anyone fast who is using a TB spacer, so that should be your guide.

I was always told that tb spacer were a waste they only work on carburated engines since it gives the air/fuel more room to mix.

Yeah, I don't think it would be worth it either. The spacers have the grooves that are supposed to spin your air sort of like the tornado fuel saver, but I don't think it would make any sort of a difference. Money would be better spent elsewhere. Oh and that tornado fuel saver only gives you better gas mileage 'cause it restricts any air coming in
