Spacers are not snake oil but money is better spent elsewhere first.
NWP has limited parts for a DEK.

I should have clarified.
Generic aluminum and or helix/vortex throttle spacers do nothing but lighten your wallet.
Phenolic/thermal isolating spacers are beneficial in most cases by reducing the amount of heat transfer to the intake manifold and throttle.
On the dek, there is nothing to be gained from isolating the throttle from a plastic intake manifold.
IMO the only beneficial spacer for the dek is between the LIM and the head.

I havent seen much from NWP (linked by JSutter) lately, so I dont know if hes still making stuff.
I don't think the LIM spacers are listed separately on his site so you may need to message him to see if he will sell them separately.
As mentioned there is the larger throttle body upgrade, but Id probably do that once I had some other intake and exhaust upgrades to go along with it.
