I'm thinking about one of their spacers. Do they live up to their claims of an additional 30 hp with their spacers? Are any of you using one ?

I'm looking into one of these as well  My question is, are they effective on a dual plane manifold (RPM AirGap)? ------------------

Expensive, but the best over the counter spacer you can buy.

Any high performance engine and e-mails are fine Ron. Even 30-40 of them on the same topic. ------------------

 It never gets to 30-40, I'll pick up the phone before that ever happens.

I looked at the thread showing the Wilson carb spacer for $65 and that's an open spacer, not the higher priced tapered spacer. I've worked extensively with both the HVH & Wilson tapered spacers in various carb bore dimensions and those will be quite a bit more expensive than your run of the mill spacers. But...the tapered spacers work!!!!! I have indeed picked up a bonafide 28HP using a Wilson 2" tapered spacer with the 1.750" bores in conjunction with with a Moroso 4 hole spacer on top of that on the dyno.------------------

Fe's are plenty fast, but "Y"'s are fun when they run in the nines.

So are the wilson spacers better for a mostly street car then a non brand name 1" 4 hole spacer ?Like for my mild 351w which one would work the best ? ------------------

Digging this one up from the past guys....I see alot of talk about the Wilson 1"4 hole spacer...I am currently using the 2" version on my 306/victor jr/afr185/750dp.Is the 2" too much?Do you think a 1" would work better?If ya need more info on my set up let me know... I know it may be a trial and error deal but wanted some opinions before I spend another 130 bucks! Im fairly new to this site but you guys seem great and very knowledgeable! Thanks for your time!
