Throttle body spacers do absolutely **** on fuel injected engines. I doubt you're losing power, but you're not gaining anything.

Agreed. TB spacers only help when fuel is being introduced through the TB, ie tb injection and carb'd setups. In which case it allows for better atomization of the fuel before it enters the plenum. If there is no fuel there is really no benefit, nor would there be a loss. Just an extra piece to spend money on
