I don't know but my builder (Tony Bischoff - BES) told me I needed one. Motor should hit the dyno very soon. We settled on a 1 inch. I wanted phenolic for heat insulation, and I wanted o-rings - no gaskets. He gave me some direction and this is what I came up with. Tony said it should work.

I tried a bunch on my 512. I am limited to 1" spacer under the carb......It ended up liking the big open spacer the best, and then I milled the clover leaf out of the intake for one big opening.....It really liked that.

We actually make our own that have proven to be better than anything else we have run on the dyno. There are 4 of them at the dyno and they get used on almost every engine on the dyno and are always better from 5-25hp over the others..But here the thing. Many times on a dyno you can stack spacer to the ceiling and see more power, but at the track it flat don't work. Something that can work as a shear plate and spacer sized to the carbs throttle plate will usually net you some power on the dyno and track
