Icon6 troubleshooting throttle body spacer.

I installed a throttle body spacer on my F22A 2.3L and it started idling/running roughly... Any Ideas?
Other mods include: AEM Brute Force cold-air intake, NGK wires & Iridium plugs, DC Sports 2-piece 4-2-1
ceramic coated header and APEXi WS2 Cat-back system... Also any suggestions on how I can get some more ponies out of her fairly inexpensively and easily while still remaining reliable as a daily driver? Porting/polishing intake? computer? Does anyone have any experience with the JET computers?
sorry so many ?'s at once.

This is an easy fix. Remove the spacer and reinstall the throttle body with a new gasket.
Sorry, but the spacer does absolutely nothing for performance.

You've a vacuum leak somewhere. Leave everything attached, start up the engine and using spray carburetor cleaner; pick an area around where you want to test and give it a shot, If everything's tight nothing will happen. If you've a leak, the idle will change when the cleaner is sucked in. (it acts like additional fuel)

Are you aware that using the phrase "fairly inexpensively" and "more ponies" in the same sentence violates at least three (3) UN treatys? and you could be arrested for being an oximoron?

You know that spacer is only lengthening the distance of the intake tube right? Fuel and air aren't mixing on your car until after the fuel is actually sprayed? IMHO take it out and return it.
