you will be lucky to see 5whp, dyno's from company's are always done at PERFECT conditions vs a base run at TERRIBLE conditions. They are very biased.

on a better note, everything sounds good, and at least ur intake will give u a good sound.

sooo i heard that throttle body spacers you dont really gain much hp or tq from.

You wouldn't see an increase with either. The idea behind a throttle body spacer is to give fuel from a carburated vehicle more time to atomize. But, with a fuel injected vehicle, you don't need to space the throttle body, because it won't do anything.

And, the only intake manifold spacer that could possibly help, would be one with a coolant line attached to lower intake temperatures, but that would require a seperate coolant setup, because engine coolant usually runs at the same temp as your engine, which isn't cold at all. So, this would be of no use as well.
