really depends on your combo......try one, if it helps keep it if not ......ebay it.
normally you will not see an improvment on the street.

What he said. You can also add some long bolts and use it as a carb. stand for rebuilding if it doesn't work.

From looking at the picture it looks like a single plane manifold. Maybe to increase low end torque you could try a 1" 4hole spacer.

2cool,

I have the same intake currently, and found that I did not need a spacer. Plenty of throttle response.

only testing will tell, but, they almost never hurt, if nothing else the non-metallic types will go aways towards isolating engine heat from the carb
