Default Throttle Body Spacers

I dont know much about them....and have a few questions:
-Are they worth the money?
-Is it true they get up to 17 lbs of torque?
-And how many will I need? (Im assuming one because i think it mounts right after the CAI, but on Stylin Concepts it says $124.99 each so this has lead me to believe otherwise)

Thanks for the help!

Yeah they will improve your mileage but only if you replace your muffler bearing and defibrulate your thing-a-ma-giggy!!
Spend your 124.99 on other mods but not that one. Do a search on the Popular Mechanics web site they did an extensive test on mileage improvement devices and the throttle body spacers was one of them. NO gain in mileage. sorry

I put one on, and it made my mileage 15% worse. It did make a coolsound when accelerating though.
