Don't worry about the throttle body spacer they are a waste of time on a fuel injected engine--no fuel to aerate or rotate the way you could with a carburetor.

Nice paperweight though.

As stated above, a throttle body spacer isn't going to do anything for you other than whistle so I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Are you gonna drill and tap it for nitrous? Otherwise you're wasting your time and you may actually restrict the air inlet some.
