Carb spacer
I was wondering if it would be wise to invest in a carb spacer for my 4bbl 305 in my '82 Z28. Ive seen on tv that if u dont have a high rise intake they will increase a decent amound of horses and u will feel the difference. I was gonna go with a 1" from edelbrock.

Re: Carb spacer
ive had 2 friends that have gotten them one that loved his and another that thought his didn't do anything
supposedly a high rise will take away from torq while having better high range hp while a low rise is better for the low end but how much .... ive never seen any kinda solid numbers on any of it

Re: Carb spacer
I have a 1" spacer on my 350 and I like the difference that it made.
So, I would say go for it.
