someone who has a TBS on a 2 gen tell me..

Your first link is a spacer for a 3.4L. I don't think it will fit your 3.0. As for you second link, the price of that thing is ridiculous. You'll get the same performance gain by doing the ISR mod and drilling out your airbox, at a fraction of the cost.

I put a K&N on my rig before finding this site. I really dislike having the cleaning issue with the MAF. It seems it doesn't matter how little oil I use, I still throw a code after a cleaning the filter. I dont know what other "Kit" option there is that won't do that. I got my setup at cost, and that's the only thing I liked about it. A friend at 4X4 shop is nice.

Headers and a cold air intake w/tsb will yield you about 10 hp (if you're lucky).
If you are serious about adding 30-40 hp, you are going to have to have your heads ported and polished w/ oversized valves put in. And your cams reground (Search weasy2k). That with headers, might get you 30-40hp.

dyno proven, no. But lots of guys have headers, exhaust and some form of modified intake, and arn't seeing 30hp from it.
As for the TBS, think about how it works for a second:
A TBS is used to increase the distance from the Throttle Body to the intake manifold(or in this case the intake plenum). This allows more time for the air and fuel to mix, right? Well, if you have a carburetor or Throttle Body injection(neither of which the 3.0 has), it is a good idea.
The 3.0 has multi-port injection, which means that the fuel is sprayed "almost" right into the cylinders(mabey 2" away). The Throttle body is a good foot before the injectors. So all adding a TBS does is increase the distance the air has to travel from the TB to the injectors. It doesn't allow anymore time/distance for mixing.
It's a waste of money, and if you get one and think it has positive result, you need your head examined.
Do A LOT more searching on these forums and you will find all about the options you have for the 3.slow. The basic consensus will be that if you want 3-40hp more, swap in a 3.4L.

Options, one of the easiest(?), and most reliable way, provided you're willing to trust your head gasket to last, would be some sort of forced induction.
Laugh if you like, but we decided to try the "Saw it on YouTube" grass blower idea, and well, it actually worked!! Yeah we dyno'd it, fun things to do when visiting a friends shop.
So, a turbo would probably be a decent thought. I have yet to personally see anyone turbo the 3.0 4runner, and not sure how much would be involved given the amount of space available.
That being said, even easier than this line of reasoning would be a "Duh, 3.4!!"
Plenty have done it, all with pleasing success, availability of supporting parts to do so, etc-etc.
Ok, off my soapbox for now.
(here's where a strange guy walks past and whispers "Wanna laugh, this is a gas..."-Link*).
*only for up through '92.
