Is this worth it?

I bought one for my truck four years ago and it did significant power/torque gains, numbers proved it... but since hondas are different than domestic I just wonder if it'll do anything. Anyone here have this or something similar?

Helix Throttle Body Spacer

BTW: I searched already and found nothing useful. I.E. dyno tests? I know theres someone here that was bored and did it.

haha, yea i had that on my truck... when i would let off the gas it would make a loud air sucking noise... The 'vic already has cool sounding "whoosh" since i extended the intake and put thicker piping so it's all good. I get in those buying moods sometimes and go on a shopping spree. All I've seen posts of are people with pros and cons, but no concrete evidence. Didn't someone in socal have the helix? I don't remember who it was, early last year i think. Anyway, I wasn't gonna buy it... just curious. w00t!
