Carb spacers have always been a very legitimate tunning aid with carburated
cars. With the advent of large plenum volumes on port injected cars the spacer
will have much less effect or no effect. However, if the intake is basically an
adaptation of a carburated intake it may very well be worth while.

You will never see a manufacuter specify one for the simple reason if they
found it to be effective they would just revise the intake manifold casting to
incorporate it.
