spacers don't work on a fuel injected setup. The idea behind a spacer is allow more time for atomization and/or help mix air and fuel better. Like you said, works well on carb setups and throttle body injection setups where fuel and air come into the intake at the same spot. But since fuel enters through the injectors right before the cylinder head, it's absolutely usless on a fuel injected setup. Like said....save your money.

You want the air flowing as straight and smooth as possible.
