Is a TB spacer worth it?

It seems like a cheap, easy mod so I am wondering if its actually worth the $50. Would I notice much of a difference? Eventually I will be dropping to a 3.4" pulley once I get more supporting mods...

i have a tapped one for my zex kit but im plugging it to use as a spacer for my HV TB....it blocks the coolent from heating up the TB so at least it gets cooler intake temps....not really a noticable gain mod

JB weld works well if done right
