I have a SVT UIM, LIM, TB and GMK CAI. Even on my 3.5 hour trip from PA to MD the UIM was still cool. There is no need for TB spacers on these cars.

TB Spacers do more than keep things cool ... which the tend to not do at all since most are aluminum.
They slightly change the intake manifold volume & length causeing a slight change in the power band... Usually it's not worth it but combined with a few other of the right mods & engine you can pick up a couple of horsepower .... but only maybe 1-3 .... it's kind of along the same lines at tuned runners... but less effective.
