I've been looking at doing this mod (see below) but not quite sure that it is worth the money or not. It seem'* to make sense, but not sure if it will really enhance my engine or performance.

A TB spacer in my understanding is nothing more than a TB coolant block off plate. The lack of coolant could keep temps lower.
On the Stage 2.. that'* pretty radical and would probably require the new A/F tables mentioned.
To me.. a slight porting is the best way to go unless you are entering the mid/low 12'* as the documentation suggests.

As far as it'* worth, that is for you to decide. Did you read this thread (right below yours)?

Well I am in no way even close to low 12, 13, or 14'*. I will probably stop mod'ing once I hit the 13'* anyway but we will see, that could change if I really like what is happening. So in your opinion do you think the stage one is better? I purchased a throttle body from Ebay a while back as a core, it'* pretty clean, so would it be better for me to do it myself? Not really sure how to do that though.
If you take the pics..and information Willwren has supplied..
Head to a machine shop..
They should be able to do this for you for under $50..
50 is a heck of a lot better than 200....

ZZP'* TB (just looked at it, when did they start offering those?) is just another adaptation of what I did 2 years ago. I doubt there would be much difference between their trapezoid shaft and my double flat. If they had countersunk and used flat head screws like I did on Don'*, Boosty'*, and the other 3 of mine, they could have reduced turbulence even further.
