Default Throttle body spacer?

Is there any benefit in getting a throttle body spacer for a 2.3l accord?

Read this thread. They can't hurt if you really want to just spend the money, but the only real difference is made on larger displacement engines. On our Hondas, the only thing you might see is a 1mpg increase in gas mileage.

How about getting a "ported and polished" throtle body, and the intake manifold and do the same adding a "body spacer"... I'm sure a few ponnies would "pop in" the engine!
Of course they do something, the company could be sued by false advertisement if they didn't do absolutely nothing......
