Don't waste your time with the throttle body spacer. Spacers don't do anything on fuel injected motors. The Spectra is one of the worst intakes for filtration. Less than 98% filtration isn't a good thing. The design of it also allows warm air to be pulled in at under ~45 mph.
Take a look at the Gotts mod for the intake. Does as much as a CAI would be stays cooler and uses the filter of your choice. If you want more beyond the intake, look into freeing up the exhaust and a programmer.

Your mods don't warrant a custom tune, but custom programmers are better than canned programmers. It's just a matter of what you want to spend. Good canned programmers are the Edge Evo or the SCT SF3. Better custom programmers are the Gryphon and SCT x3.
