I understand what a TB spacer is supposed to do in an engine with a carburetor, but I don't understand why you would want one in a fuel injected engine. The fuel is injected after the TB.

Yeah, I agree, I'd call it snake oil without some serious proof from a neutral 3rd party.

Where did I see the writeup on the Intake spacer that made good power ?? I thought it was in Nissan Sport Magazine ?? I know thats different that a T/B spacer ... But I was curious to see any real time results ...

Depends on the context, and also I don't make any claims for product tests that I haven't personally done 
.
On some cars like the 350Z the intake plenum is so poorly designed that the amount of air being fed to each cylinder is different by as much as %10. The spacer for that car allows more volume and more even airflow in the plenum and does no doubt give more power.
