How would a throttle body spacer kill your distributor early?!

Throttle body spacers are the same theory behind carb spacers in older small blocks. They aren't always a good idea and there are different types for different desired results.

On carbed and TBI engines...yes they work. They give more time for the air and fuel to atomize and increases air flow speed.

Now on Vortec engines..were the they are fuel injected..and fuel is added after the throttle body, you're just adding more length the air has to travel. Only possible gain would be if the TBS was bored correctly to actually speed up the incoming airflow, but a slight gain. I'd just save up for CAI/exhaust.
