Sorry, I can;t help with the Wilson spacer as I have never used it.

We did put an APD Black Widow carb spacer on my motor when it was on the dyno and it did make some impressive gains.

I have yet to do an actual on track back to back test with an with out yet though.

I run one (a 4 holer) on my 408 - along with a single plane Victor 340. All I can tell you is that it didn't make anything worse. 60 foot times may have improved slightly, but really too small to say with confidence that it was an improvement.

They do make horsepower and torque. See this article (it's not Mopar but should be the same).

I have tested the Wilson dominator reversion spacer on a 700 HP motor, it increased the power by 8 HP at and above 5000 RPM I have not tested it on the car at the track, it(the test) was on my 518 that I ran the six pak on, I had switch intakes to a Team G dominator intake and tested several 1050 Dominator carbs, the six pak made 10 HP more(same torque ) than any of the 1050 Dominators did including the tests with the spacer

4150

Test were done on the first build we did. Intake was a Team G and the carb was my APD alky 950.

It was our intention to do some on track testing with it before I tried saving the $$$ for one but never got the chance due to my luck.

What intake? The older 440-2 (4150 flange) intake show good improvement with the addition of a 4150/4500 adapter.
I done some testing with a 4" toilet with and without the adapter at the track back to back runs. The toilets holes are slotted which will accept both bolt patterns.
It was worth a few numbers on the time slip. BTW.
IMO the wilson is more or less a shot in the dark. Too many variables, cam size, intake plenum, piston speed. To say if the engine will respond with the spacers. I will say I have never seen one loose power though.
