Default throttle body spacer?

I was gonna get the air raid spacer. Does it improve gas mileage?

I have a k and n intake and performance exhaust and was just looking for more ways to increase power and gas mileage without major modification. Ive gotten mixed things about the spacer I.have 2 friends with xjs one says improved his gas mileage and throttle response the other said no.mpg gain so figured I would ask

Better off boring out your tb to match you intake.

And this.

Couple them, if possible, with a 99+ intake, 4 hole injectors, and high flow cat/exhaust, and you'll have a great setup!

throttle body spacers do absolutely nothing but make noise on a MPFI engine.

Agreed, I have an IRO "prototype" spacer. I won it at their customer appreciation event, it makes a very nice paper weight. They were even joking around about how much horsepower they add when we were drinking around the bonfire that night.
