Carb/intake/spacer?
I bought a Edelbrock Performer Intake 2101, and a Edelbrock Carb 1406. I was wondering if buying a carb spacer is even worth it? Anyone notice any gains?
Also if I get one should I get one like this
or this

spacers are mostly for racers fine tuning.

Re: Carb/intake/spacer?
Edelbrocks tend to let the fuel in the bowls get pretty warm. A thin phenolic spacer or thick gasket would help, but I doubt you'd see any other benefit.
